*Abstract *

Every decade, the cellular industry goes through a major technology
generation, from 2G to 3G to 4G, and now it is time to prepare for 5G in
the next decade. The 5G technology is designed to transform the industry
with giga-bit connectivity everywhere, ultra-reliable automation control,
and massive IoE with billions of connections to the network. This
presentation will describe the technologies that enable the 5G vision, from
air interface to spectrum innovations and cover industry eco-system status
as of today. There are also unique opportunities positioned for long-term
research with initial encouraging findings.
