O impacto da tecnologia 5G na redução da latência e aumento da capacidade em redes de alta demanda

Abstract

The growing demand for data traffic in mobile networks has posed significant performance challenges, especially when users access content hosted on international servers. In this context, 5G technology emerges as an advanced solution capable of increasing efficiency, reducing latency, and optimizing resource utilization. This work aims to analyze how 5G addresses the issue of slow performance in high-traffic situations by leveraging features such as Network Slicing, edge computing, Massive MIMO, and spectrum aggregation. These features enable the creation of dedicated virtual networks, data processing closer to the enduser, and greater bandwidth, even in overload scenarios. The research will be based on simulations and case studies, comparing 5G's performance with previous generations, such as 4G, in terms of latency, capacity, and spectral efficiency. Furthermore, the study will discuss the impacts of this technology in high-density environments and the regulatory challenges associated with spectrum usage. The expected results include a significant improvement in the quality of service, even in high-demand areas, demonstrating the potential of 5G to transform user experience and global telecommunications infrastructure.
