Evolution of Base Stations: From 1G to 5G/6G ― A Journey Through Wireless Communication Advancements
Prateek Shantharama | prateek@ece.msstate.edu
Abstract: The evolution of base stations from 1G to 5G and the emerging vision of 6G reflects the rapid advancements in wireless communication technology. This presentation explores the transformative journey of base stations, highlighting the progression from the analog systems of 1G to the ultra-fast, AI-driven architectures of 6G. Each generation has introduced groundbreaking innovations: digital communication in 2G, mobile broadband in 3G, high-speed connectivity in 4G, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication in 5G. The anticipated 6G networks aim to integrate AI, quantum communication, and terahertz frequencies to enable real-time holographic communication and unprecedented data rates. Key challenges, such as deployment costs, energy efficiency, and scalability, are addressed, along with the role of technologies like massive MIMO, beamforming, and network slicing. This comprehensive overview underscores the pivotal role of base stations in shaping the digital landscape and paving the way for a connected, intelligent future.
Dr. Prateek Shantharama is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Arizona State University in 2022, following an M.Tech. in Computer Networks Engineering from The National Institute of Engineering, Mysore, India, in 2016, and a B.E. in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumakuru, India, in 2014. Dr. Shantharama’s research focuses on wireless communication and networking, with particular emphasis on Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), 5G and beyond technologies, machine learning and AI applications in wireless communication, hardware acceleration and optimization, resource allocation, network function virtualization, and software-defined networking.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University consists of 27 faculty members (including seven endowed professors), seven professional staff, and over 700 undergraduate and graduate students, with approximately 100 being at the Ph.D. level. With a research expenditure of over $14.24 million, the department houses the largest High Voltage Laboratory among North American universities.
