Introduction
In this era of communication where we have huge number of devices and a vast technology, we see improvement day by day.In early 1980’s when the wireless communication just started, it started with the zero “0G” technology commonly known as radio wireless transmission technology. This technology was wide spread but further it provided facility of voice call only but not data transfer, that was the drawback of 0G technology. Then came 0.5 G with bit more improvement in voice clearity after that there came a grand 1st generation technology commonly known as 1G, which not only provide the voice call facility but it also provided the data transfer facility with a maximum speed of 10kbps. 1G used the analog signals as its means of data transfer, whereas its successor 2G used digital signals as means of its
communication and 2G served as a revolutionary work done if field of wireless communication as it provided a very good voice clearity and even increased the data transfer speed up to 64kbps as the increment in 2G, there came 2.5G which provided a speed of 144kbps[3]. As the advancement in technology there came 3G which provided facility of video calling as it gave a very high speed of data transfer that is up to 3 mbps and then the advancement moved on to 3.5G which gave the speed of 14.4 Mbps. Further technology moved to 4G which provided streaming of high definition video and provided a speed of 100 Mbps. Now the technology which will be there in the market and will be a future generation technology will be 5th generation technology and it provides speed up to 1 gbps.
5G [1][2] will make an important difference and will add more services and benefits to the world over 4G. It will be more advanced that will interconnect the entire world and it will give birth to worldwide wireless web. We can even hook our phone with our laptop for broadband internet access. 5G technology will provide very high band width that the users have never experienced before. The 5G technology has all type of advanced features which makes it a most powerful tool of wireless communications.With 5G pushed over a VOIPenableddevice, people will experience a level of call volume anddata transmission never experienced before. 5G technology willoffer the high quality of services in the field of Product Engineering, Documentation,supporting electronic transactions (e-Payments, e-transactions)etc. now a days u can find most of the cell phone having mp3player with huge storage memory and a camera. You can evenuse the new 5G cell technologies to hook your phone to yourlaptop for broadband Internet access. The modern day cellphone resembles a hand held computer more than it does aphone, as most of them contain cameras, video players, MP3recording, and much more.
The rest of paper is organized as follows.In the section II we have compared 5G technologywith 1G,2G, 3G,4G technologies.Finally, the conclusions are given in Section III.

Comparison of 5G with other wireless technologies
In this section we will compare the various features of 5G with other wireless technologies which are as follows:
2.1. Comparison between 1G &5G[8][9]
1G 5G 1) it is the first generation
technology that exists in 1980’s
1) 5G is the fifth generation technology and it will be completely available in the market by 2020
2) It works on analog signals 2) It is based on virtual private network 3) It supports data band width in
kbps
4) It is based on basic mobility 4) It is based on IPv6
5) It is time consuming 5) It’s a very fast means of communication 6) During 1G wireless phones are
used for voice calls only.
6) In 5G technology phones have HD streaming, large memory, MP3 recording, camera and all advanced features
7) It has no security 7) It has very high security 8)Poor carrier aggregation 8)Multiple carrier aggregation 9) Band width per frequency
channel of 1G is up to 30Khz
9) Band width per frequency channel of 5G is up to 28Ghz
This comparison shows that the 1G technology is much more back behind 5G technology as 5G provides a very broad coverage network area and even safest and the fastest means of communication. The mobility quality of 5G is thousand times better than the old 1G technology as 1G provides only voice communication and on the other hand 5G provide the fastest internet communication.
2.2. Comparison of 2G &5G[7][9]
2G 5G 1) It came in 1990 1) It will come till 2020
7) It is successor to 1G 7) It is successor to 4G
2) It is based on digital signals 2) It is based on internet protocol IPv6 3) It is mainly used for mobile
communication
3) It is for mobile communication and also for wireless internet
4) No quality of service 4) Very high quality of service 5) Handsets are provided with
messaging facility (SMS, MMS and picture message)
5) Handsets are provided with ultrahigh HD video calling
6) Cannot take multiple parties simultaneously
6) It can take unlimited number of parties simultaneously
7)Band width per frequency channel of 2G is up to 200Khz
7) Band width per frequency channel of 5G is up to 28Ghz
8) Core network is PSTN 8) Core network is internet 9) Maximum speed is up to
64Kbps
9) maximum speed is up to 1Gbps
As the successor of 1G 2G was far better than 1G but still it lags very much to compete with 5G. 2G provides facility of messaging as well as data transfer. But the speed of 2ginternet was very slow as compared to 5G, the 2G did not allow the high data transfer rate for streaming multimedia whereas 5G provides a HD video streaming.
2.3. Comparison between 3G &5G[6][9]

4) It provides digital navigation 4) It provides virtual private network 5) It provides video access 5) It provides high resolution and bi
directional large band width shaping 6) 3G is successor to 2G 6) 5G is successor to 4G
7) Seamless roaming 7) IP based mobility 8) high data rates 8) very high data rates 9) Band width per frequency channel is
up to 20Mhz
9) Band width per frequency channel is up to 28Ghz
3G is successor of 2G technology. 3G allows the video calling facility and some additional features that are not present in 2G and also the data transfer speed is higher than 2G,but in comparison to 5G it is very low. 5G allows the very fast internet i.e, in Gbps
2.4. Comparison between 4G &5G[4][5][9]
4G 5G 1) 4G is present since 2000 1) 5G will come completely in
2020 2) 4G is the fourth generation of mobile communication technology
2) 5G is the revolution in 4G mobile communication technology 3) 4G provides dynamic information
access, wearable devices
3) 5G provides dynamic information access, wearable devices with AI capabilities
4) It supports data band width in Mbps 4) It supports data band width in Gbps
5) Speeds for 4G are further increased to keep up with data access demand used by various services
5) 5G will provide very high speed as well as efficient use of available band width to the consumers
6) 4G provide high definition streaming and some additional features such as multimedia Newspaper and ultra-broadbandinternet access which were not present in 3G
6) 5G includes large phone memory, dialing speed, and much more and also we can hook our 5G cell phones with laptop to get broadband internet access
7) Band width per frequency channel is up to 100Mhz
