INTRODUCTION
1G- First Generation
This was the first generation of cell phone technology . The very first generation of commercial
cellular network was introduced in the late 70's with fully implemented standards being established
throughout the 80's. It was introduced in 1987 by Telecom (known today as Telstra), Australia
received its first cellular mobile phone network utilising a 1G analog system. 1G is an analog
technology and the phones generally had poor battery life and voice quality was large without much
security, and would sometimes experience dropped calls . These are the analog telecommunications
standards that were introduced in the 1980s.
4G - Fourth Generation
5G - Fifth Generation
The typical features of 5G are fast data transmission with low latency compared to the
previous generations. 5G better supports bandwidth demanding services, such as
augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) enabled education, entertainment, health
care services and massive internet of things (IoT) devices enabled smart city and
manufacturing applications. Autonomous cars will also benefit significantly from being
able to communicate with each other almost instantaneously The IoT and machine-to-
machine (M2M) infrastructure have long been held back by the higher than expected
latency and limited download speeds of 4G. More devices are expected to be connected to
networks, increasing the cumulative impact of any latency. This will be improved by 5G.
IoT applications are widely regarded as a growth opportunity for 5G.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Emmanuel Effiok, Jon Hitchcock, Survey on health care applications in 5G networks[1]. IN
2019, 5G introduced and it is being gradually deployed all over the world. 5G introduces new
concepts, such as network slicing to better support various applications with different performance
requirements on data rate and latency and edge and cloud computing The key benefit that the new
5G architecture brings is its support for heterogeneous applications built upon the ubiquities
physical authors prioritized network slices to cater for different users in a multi-tenancy network,
in order to efficiently allocate radio resources in the two-level hierarchy by giving priority to the
different slices in each mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) and the user in a slice. The
popular health care services in 5G include remote and intervention and long-term monitoring for
chronic diseases.
Abdul Ahad , Mohammad Tahir,Muhammd Aman Sheikh, Technologies Trend
towards 5G Network for Smart Health-Care Using IoT: A Review[2]. Various smart health-
care services are highly dependent on the communication range (i.e., short and long-range)
between devices and servers. Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi are the most noticeable short-
range wireless technologies for smart health-care, such as Body Area Network (BAN). LTE
and WiMAX are evident long-range technologies used to transfer data between local server
to BS in the smart health-care system. Furthermore, LTE-M is considered to be an
enhancement to assist IoT. However, 3GPP needs to further provide improvements to
address coverage, battery life-time, and device complexity [34]. Besides protocols
currently in use, LoRa standardizes the LoRa-WAN protocol for smart health-care use to
ensure interoperability among several service providers. Moreover, SIGFOX offers an
exceedingly adaptable worldwide network by considering smart health-care applications
having low power utilization.

METHODOLOGY
3.1: 5G network architecture
Network slicing: To suit various applications, network slicing is used. Network slicing is
a form of virtual network architecture using the same principles behind SDN and NFV in
fixed networks. Network slicing considerably transforms the networking perspective by
abstracting, isolating, orchestrating, softwarising and separating logical network
components from the underlying physical network resources. Network resources include
connectivity, computing and storage resources that are provided by the physical
infrastructures, such as routers, switches and firewalls. SDN design, build and manage
network separating control (programmable) and forwarding plane. It provides a
programming interface for network applications.
• eMBB(enhanced mobile broadband).
• mMTC(massive machine type communication).
• uRLLC(ultra-relaible low latency communication).
eMBB,mMTC and uRLLC are the categories of use cases.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
4.1: ADVANTAGES
Greater speed in transmissions
Speed in transmissions can approach 15 or 20 Gbps. By being able to enjoy a higher speed
we can access files, programs and remote applications in a totally direct and without
waiting. By intensifying the use of the cloud, all devices (mobile phones, computers,
etc.) will depend less on the internal memory and on the accumulation of data and it
won’t be necessary to install a large number of processors on some objects because
computing can be done on the Cloud.
For example, being able to activate software remotely as if it were executed in personal
devices, will allow not having installed the mobile applications (APPs) in the terminal and
executing them directly from the cloud. Just as it will no longer be necessary to store the
information in the memory of the device (photos, videos,etc)[2].
Lower latency
Latency is the time that elapses since we give an order on our device until the action
occurs. In 5G the latency will be ten times less than in 4G, being able to perform remote
actions in real time.
Thanks to this low latency and the increase of the sensors, it is possible to control the
machinery of an industrial plant, control logistics or remote transport, surgical operations
in which the doctor can intervene a patient who is at another side of the world with the help
of precision instrumentation managed remotely or the complete control of remote transport
system, automated and without driver[1].
Greater number of connected devices
With 5G the number of devices that can be connected to the network increases greatly, it
will go to millionaire scale per square kilometer.All connected devices will have access
to instant connections to the internet, which in real time will exchange information with
each other. This will favor the IOT.
It is anticipated that a common home will have a hundred connected devices sending and
receiving information in real time. If we think of industrial plants we would speak of
thousands of connected devices[2].
This greater number of connected devices will allow the smart cities and the autonomous
car.
For example, by placing sensors in different points and objects in the city, a large part of it
can be monitored. If you share the information of the sensors of the cars and those of the
city, and these exchange data you can improve the quality of life of the cities, facilitate the
navigation of the autonomous car (choose better routes, reduce the number of accidents,
find available parcking spaces, etc)[2].
Network slicing
The 5G also allows to implement virtual networks (network slicing), create subnets, in
order to provide connectivity more adjusted to specific needs.The creation of
subnetworks will give specific characteristics to a part of the network, being a
programmable network and will allow to prioritize connections, as could be the
emergencies in front of other users, applying for example different latencies or prioritizing
them in the connection to the network so that they can’t be affected by possible overloads
of the network[3].
4.2: DISADVANTAGES
The development of 5G communication technology has generated a lot of excitement
across various sectors, including healthcare. This is because 5G technology promises to
deliver faster data transfer rates, lower latency, and improved network reliability, all of
which could significantly enhance healthcare delivery. However, like any other emerging
technology, 5G also comes with its own set of challenges and drawbacks that need to be
carefully considered. In this article, we will explore some of the disadvantages of 5G
communication and its application in healthcare.
Security Risks
The fast and efficient data transfer capabilities of 5G communication can also make it more
vulnerable to security breaches. The increased data transfer speed, volume, and complexity
of 5G networks means that there are more entry points for cybercriminals to exploit. In
healthcare, where sensitive patient information is often transmitted over networks, data
breaches can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to ensure that proper
security protocols are in place to safeguard sensitive patient data from cyberattacks.
Infrastructure Challenges
The implementation of 5G communication requires a significant infrastructure overhaul,
which can be both time-consuming and expensive. This is because 5G technology requires
the installation of new base stations and antennas to support the higher frequency bands
used by the technology. In healthcare settings, this can be particularly challenging as
ECE, KLECET Chikodi 2022-23 10
5G COMMUNICATION AND IT’S APPLICATION IN HEALTHCARE
hospitals and other healthcare facilities are often located in densely populated urban areas
where space is limited.
Interference
The higher frequency bands used by 5G communication technology can also be susceptible
to interference from other electronic devices, such as medical equipment. This interference
can lead to degraded network performance, which could impact the quality of healthcare
services. For instance, if a surgeon is remotely operating a robot through a 5G network and
experiences interference, it could result in a life-threatening situation for the patient.
Cost
The adoption of 5G technology can also be prohibitively expensive for healthcare
organizations, especially those in low-resource settings. The infrastructure costs associated
with 5G technology, such as the installation of new base stations and antennas, can be
substantial. Additionally, the cost of upgrading existing medical equipment to be
compatible with 5G technology can also be significant.
Privacy Concerns
The increased speed and efficiency of 5G networks can also raise privacy concerns,
especially when it comes to patient data. With the increased volume of data transferred over
5G networks, there is a risk that patient data could be inadvertently shared or accessed by
unauthorized third parties. To address this concern, healthcare organizations need to have
robust data protection policies and encryption measures in place.
Health Risks
There has been some concern about the potential health risks associated with exposure to
the high-frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by 5G networks. While the evidence
regarding the health risks of 5G technology is still inconclusive, some studies have
suggested that prolonged exposure to 5G radiation could lead to adverse health effects. This
has led to calls for further research and investigation into the potential health risks of 5G
technology.
Accessibility Issues
Finally, the widespread adoption of 5G technology may not be accessible to everyone.
Rural and remote areas, as well as low-income communities, may not have the necessary
infrastructure in place to support 5G technology. This could lead to a widening gap in
access to healthcare services between different regions and socioeconomic groups.
In conclusion, while 5G communication technology has the potential to revolutionize
healthcare delivery, it also comes with a range of challenges and drawbacks. It is important
Chapter 5
APPLICATIONS
1.5G and Telemedicine: It facilitates telemedicine, especially in rural areas, warrants a
network that can support real-time, high-resolution calls without lags or jitters and high-
speed transfers of large files. The low latency and larger bandwidths of 5G networks can
enhance the quality of telehealth consultations, reduce costs for healthcare facilities, and
improve the overall patient experience. Moreover, when faced with pandemics,
telemedicine is the safest route, as it eliminates visits to a doctor's office and connects
patients in remote pockets of the world with specialists and well-equipped medical
facilities[4].
2.Augmented Reality In Healthcare: Augmented reality has several applications in
healthcare, from remote monitoring to surgeries, thanks to 5G. Using AR in a 4G
environment is mired with lag times, usually 20-50 milliseconds long. These lags lead to
motion sickness over an extended period as there's a mismatch between visual recognition
and brain processing. The greater performance, bandwidth, and reliability of 5G networks
overcome these limitations. An example of AR in healthcare is Vodafone's AR HoloLens
glasses, which help paramedics check out medical records and access critical information
on patient handling and treatment. So, if the patient is a pregnant mother in labour, the AR
glasses provide the ambulance staff with information such as the right questions to ask and
the steps to follow en-route to the hospital[1].
3.Clinical Collaboration and Communication: It’s not uncommon for doctors to wait for
hours to receive medical imaging and other lab tests run by their colleagues at the same
facility. Such lengthy wait times, coupled with a lack of collaboration and communication,
slow down the speed of diagnosis and treatment, which creates an unpleasant experience
for the patient, introduces risks to the quality of care and incurs enormous costs for the
hospitals. A hospital-wide 5G platform can solve the problem by letting lab technicians
transmit large files within seconds without compromising the quality. Such a platform also
connects the devices within the hospital, from medical equipment to smartphones and
tablets used by the hospital staff, making data easily accessible in real-time[1].
6.Medical Sensors: The medical device industry has made significant strides in developing
wearable devices fitted with wireless technologies, sensors, built-in GPS, and smartphone
compatibility. For instance, Fitbit smartwatches can monitor SpO2 (blood oxygen),
pulse/heart rate, skin temperature, ECG, and stress. More such technologies are cropping
up to facilitate remote patient care and monitoring, increasing the patient's engagement with
their healthcare and treatment. Medical practitioners can use smartphone cameras and their
microphones of their patients to detect melanoma, analyse patient injuries, assess coughs,
monitor skin infections or eye problems[3].
7.Remote Patient Monitoring: The advances in medical devices and wearable tech also
facilitate remote patient monitoring. Patient homes can be equipped with the right
technologies to remotely monitor their vitals, symptoms, and healing over low-latency,
high-bandwidth 5G networks. Such networks enable anything from live-streaming patients
and their conditions to monitoring their vitals using the medical devices in real-time. As a
result, hospitals can reduce their overall costs and accommodate larger patients by quickly
discharging patients in recovery and monitoring their vitals remotely[2].
8.Remote Surgery 5G: Barring the largest multispecialty hospitals in metropolitan cities,
most hospitals aren't equipped with experienced surgeons for every niche. In such cases,
on-field doctors consult with the experts using video and audio. However, 5G connectivity
can take things a step further by relaying real-time information from an ongoing surgery to
the experts while they advise the surgical team during the operation. For instance, surgical
microscopes with 4K displays can transmit high-quality visuals to the consulting surgeons,
besides live-streaming the entire surgery with audio. Armed with such data, the consulting
experts can provide better supervision and guidance[2].
Chapter 6
CONCLUSION
The 5G healthcare market is projected to reach $3.67 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR
of 76.3%, according to the research firm Markets and Markets. 5G connectivity ushers in
the era of ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, with near-real-time data transfers,
substantial cost saving ,and the ability to connect millions of IoT devices.
Moreover, 5G networks facilitate access to a broader base of patients, especially in remote
areas, resulting in almost a billion extra patients getting treated globally by 2030. The future
of healthcare lies in joining the 5G revolution. The pandemic exposed the perils of not
embracing technological advances. For the industry to stay resilient during the next black
swan event, digital transformation powered by 5G will be mission-critical.
