3. Technologies under consideration
As already mentioned, the specific standardization of 5G, with Release 14, has not yet started. The standardization process will certainly be a long one, stretching into 2018-2020, according to estimates.
New contributions could be integrated, but, barring any surprises, the main technological building blocks for 5G are already known. In the remainder of this paragraph, we provide a brief description of the main technologies being considered for 5G, with the necessary bibliographical references. This list is not intended to be exhaustive.

Using mmWaves
Up to and including 4G, it was commonly accepted that radio frequencies above 5 GHz were unsuitable for cellular networks. Today, these frequencies are better mastered and are already used in recent WiFi wireless LANs, such as 802.11ad, operating...

EARTH (FP7)
A European FP7 collaborative project (01/2010-06/2012), EARTH investigated energy-efficient cellular networks. With a holistic approach, it has contributed significantly to proposals such as the E3F Framework: network modeling, performance metrics, RRM techniques and coverage extension devices for energy efficiency. https://www.ict-earth.eu/
