Fifth-generation (5G) is the latest cellular network technology in telecommunications.

Key Points: 
  • Fifth-generation (5G) is the latest cellular network technology in telecommunications.
  • Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication is a key technology for supporting the required network capabilities of 5G and beyond.
  • Recently, a team of researchers led by Dr. Song Noh of the Incheon National University reviewed channel estimation technology for RIS-assisted systems in mm-wave and sub-THz bands.
  • They can also reduce the energy consumption of radio access networks and alleviate the impact of mobile networks on the environment.
