Popis: 5G is the next generation of mobile communications networks which will use cutting-edge network technologies to deliver enhanced mobile connectivity. 5G has introduced new requirements for channel coding in its three different service classes which are enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). eMBB is expected to keep up with consumer’s insatiable demand for high mobile data rates to support data-extensive applications. mMTC will provide connectivity to a massive number of connected devices sending short data packets simultaneously to support applications such as Internet of Things (IoT). Finally, URLLC will ensure reliable low latency connectivity to support mission-critical latency-sensitive applications such as telesurgery. To address these new requirements, several new channel coding schemes are being developed. This review article provides a detailed analysis of the new channel coding challenges set out by 5G. A detailed review of existing and emerging solutions is provided. Moreover, simulation are performed to assess the performances of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes and Polar codes used in 5G’s eMBB. Directions for future works and new solutions for 5G channel coding are also discussed.
