About this ebook

The advent of the emerging fifth generation (5G) networks has changed the paradigm of how computing, electronics, and electrical (CEE) systems are interconnected. CEE devices and systems, with the help of the 5G technology, can now be seamlessly linked in a way that is rapidly turning the globe into a digital world. Smart cities and internet of things have come to stay but not without some challenges, which must be discussed.

The Handbook of Research on 5G Networks and Advancements in Computing, Electronics, and Electrical Engineering focuses on current technological innovations as the world rapidly heads towards becoming a global smart city. It covers important topics such as power systems, electrical engineering, mobile communications, network, security, and more. This book examines vast types of technologies and their roles in society with a focus on how each works, the impacts it has, and the future for developing a global smart city. This book is ideal for both industrial and academic researchers, scientists, engineers, educators, practitioners, developers, policymakers, scholars, and students interested in 5G technology and the future of engineering, computing, and technology in human society.

About the author

Augustine O. Nwajana (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.Sc. (distinction) and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from the University of East London, U.K., in 2010 and 2017, respectively. He also received the research CPD certificate in Practical Antenna Design from the University of Oxford, U.K., in 2019. He was with Siemens AG as telecommunications engineer, with Coventry University as associate lecturer, and with the University of East London as part-time lecturer. He is currently a senior lecturer (assistant professor) at the University of Greenwich where his current research interests include radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting/scavenging, battery-less RF/microwave systems, passive RF/microwave devices, and more. He has authored/co-authored five books, several journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers. Dr Nwajana has served as keynote speaker and TPC member to several conferences and is currently the Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of Electronics, Communications, and Measurement Engineering (IJECME) published by IGI Global, USA. He is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
