Ever since, the new generations up to 4G have been based on the earlier experiences and learnings, giving the developers a base for designing enhanced security and technologies for the access, transport, signaling, and overall performance of the systems.

Regardless of the high performance of 4G systems, the telecom industry has identified a need for faster end‐user data rates due to constantly increasing performance requirements of the evolving multimedia. 5G systems have thus been designed to cope with these challenges by providing more capacity and enhanced user experiences that solve all the current needs even for the most advanced virtual reality applications.
