• The FDD-BDMA frame is almost the same as that of
the TDD-BDMA. The difference is that the initial
mobile station information slot is allocated by
dividing a frequency resource, and not by dividing a
time resource. A further difference is that there is a
base station broadcast in the FDD-BDMA instead of
a preamble of the TDD-BDMA.
• The BDMA is applicable to a design of cellular
wireless communication systems for the next
generation mobile communication. Korean research
and development has suggested BDMA as a radio
interface for 5G.

V. CONCLUSION
While the future is becoming more difficult to predict with
each passing year, we should expect an accelerating pace of
technological change. 5G is not a term officially used for any
particular specification or in any official document yet made
public by telecommunication companies or standardization
bodies such as 3GPP, WiMAX Forum, or ITU-R. We
conclude that nanotechnology, Cloud computing, All IP are
the next great technology wave. We hope that this Paper helps
to promote stronger links between people working in different
fields creating future concepts of mobile communication,
Internet services, Cloud computing, All IP network, and
Nanotechnologies. We conclude that it is a great time to
invest in startups. Nowadays mobile users have much
awareness of the cell phone (mobile) technology. The 5G
technologies include all type of advanced features which
makes 5G mobile technology most powerful and in huge
demand in near future.
