Abstract:
Wireless communication has revolutionized modern technology by enabling seamless data transmission over vast distances without physical connections. It has transformed various industries, including telecommunications, healthcare, transportation, and smart infrastructure, by providing reliable, high-speed connectivity. The rapid advancement of wireless communication technologies has led to innovations such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Wi-Fi 6, which have significantly improved data transfer rates, network capacity, and connectivity. These technologies support a growing number of smart devices, enhancing automation, remote work, and real-time communication across the globe. This paper explores the fundamentals, advancements, and challenges in wireless communication, focusing on the evolution of wireless technologies and their impact on modern applications. Additionally, this paper highlights the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in optimizing wireless networks, enhancing performance, and improving energy efficiency. It also discusses the impact of spectrum allocation policies on network expansion and the importance of energy-efficient communication strategies. Lastly, it explores future trends, including the transition from 5G to 6G, quantum communication security, and the development of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) to enhance wireless coverage and efficiency.
