Making the Switch to 5G and 60GHz in mHealth applications using USRP hardware

The 5G networks will see implementation in mHealth in the upcoming years, and it becomes increasingly important to be able to test and develop software for the new generation of hardware. This new generation will likely utilize higher frequency bands in order to be considered 5G. The proposed method of utilizing USRP devices as testbeds should inform researchers of possibilities of emulating new software in real-world environments, to test for various parameters. This article uses other sources to explain the extent of 60 GHz communication capabilities of USRP devices in modern 5G research.
