Abstract
Nowadays, information and communication technology grows rapidly. The microelectronics and communication mediums also enhance their reachability of coverage and connectivity. 5G enhances the capacity of the network in terms of lowest communication latency, highest speed, enhanced throughput, minimum E2E delay, and minimizing the packet loss. In this paper, we discuss the working principle and key features of 5G communication technology along with the limitations of existing technologies. Further, we provide the taxonomy of the 5G network. Moreover, we provide a comparison of 5G and 4G LTE in terms of data privacy and security aspects. Further, we propose a four-layer architecture for ehealthcare system, which uses 5G NR (New Radio) architecture incorporating the control plane and user plane. We perform the simulation over the frequency range1 and frequency range2 and calculated the throughput and latency for distinct values of OFDM numerologies. Further, we provide a comparative analysis for 4G and 5G and deduce that 5G facilitates 10 times lower latency than 4G, and 5G can accommodate a much higher number of devices than 4G. In this work, we discuss providing better healthcare facilities electronically using 5G NR. Moreover, the data sharing and diagnosing the disease become faster and easier by using 5G NR.
