5G is the fifth-generation technology standard for the new generation of cellular networks. Combining 5G and millimeter waves (mmWave) gives tremendous capacity and even lower latency, allowing you to fully enjoy the 5G experience. 5G is the successor to the fourth generation (4G) which provides high-speed networks to support traffic capacity, higher throughput, and network efficiency as well as supporting massive applications, especially internet-of-things (IoT) and machine-to-machine areas. Therefore, performance evaluation and analysis of such systems is a critical research task that needs to be conducted by researchers. In this paper, a new model structure of an urban-suburban environment in a 5G network formed of seven cells with a central urban cell (Hot spot) surrounded by six suburban cells is introduced. With the proposed model, the end-user can have continuous connectivity under different propagation environments. Based on the suggested model, the related capacity bounds are derived and the performance of 5G network is studied via a simulation considering different parameters that affect the performance such as the non-orthogonality factor, the load concentration in both urban and suburban areas, the height of the mobile, the height of the base station, the radius, and the distance between base stations. Blocking probability and bandwidth utilization are the main two performance measures that are studied, however, the effect of the above parameters on the system capacity is also introduced. The provided numerical results that are based on a network-level call admission control algorithm reveal the fact that the investigated parameters have a major influence on the network performance. Therefore, the outcome of this research can be a very useful tool to be considered by mobile operators in the network planning of 5G.

The 5G technology offers a higher complexity than earlier generations, introducing a new type of network designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together, including vehicles, smart devices, and road infrastructure, while ensuring security, coverage, and increased performance. Therefore, following all these aspects introduced by 5G technology, different reliability assessments are necessary for optimal operation. This paper presents a practical method of real-time data measurement, which aims to obtain the necessary information to thoroughly evaluate the 5G network. The used hardware setup is based on the SIM8200EA-M2 platform for connecting to different mobile terminals. Moreover, different types of measurements are illustrated, as well as the validation of various 5G network parameters. To evaluate the 5G network performance, several performance indicators resulting from data measurement were analyzed, such as 5G network coverage, signal strength and quality, signal-to-noise ratio, throughput, communication channel quality, and transmission power. The obtained results deal with different aspects of cellular communication and can be used to analyze the 5G networks performance.
