“The high-rise demand for wireless communication and its customized services has experienced tremendous growth over the last decades. This growth is expected to continue relentlessly with addition of more traffic load as signaling storms. This consumes a significant amount of network resources, compromising network throughput and efficiency, and even in some cases, it may collapse the whole network for a particular period. Nowadays, even new necessities are coming up, besides impending new challenges like lower burden of operation and management pertaining to Device-to-Device (D2D) communications and new social network dynamics. In this scenario, huge investment is required to change/upgrade the existing wireless communication networks. Taking into account the new priority of requisites, it is pertinent to expect that some network demands can be realized by new network technology based on the current research activities which are continuously enhanced in parallel with user trends and technology developments, and it is also anticipated that such new architecture could be the foundation of networks of the future. Therefore, this paper highlights the requirement and expectations of next-generation network technology.”
