Towards Providing Connectivity When and Where It Counts: An Overview of Deployable 5G Networks
This article investigates the opportunities of using the 5th generation (5th generation (5g)) new radio (nr)standard for designing flexible and reliable deployable networks for public safety in natural disasters or emergency situations.
We describe use cases and provide an overview of deployable 5g network concepts, including architecture options, system performance analysis, and coexistence aspects.
We also identify technical challenges that can be considered in the evolution of 5th generation (5g)nr to unlock the full potential of deployable 5g networks.
