IV. 5G CELLULAR FRAMEWORK
There are several obstacles to overcome while designing
5G networks, particularly when it comes to spectral
congestion and growing user expectations. By substituting
several low-power transmitters that effectively cover
smaller service areas for high-power transmitters, the
cellular concept offers a workable answer to these
problems. The success of 5G technology is based on this
architecture, which is fundamental to contemporary
wireless networks. The fundamental idea behind the
cellular concept is the division of geographical areas into
manageable segments, or "cell footprints," using
hexagonal cells. Despite being a simplified model, the
hexagonal form accurately depicts the best configuration
for reducing overlap and increasing coverage. By giving
each cell, a share of the available spectrum while
minimizing interference with nearby cells, hexagons
