        <p>The wireless communication systems witness a huge developments in the mobile generations (1G to 5G and recently 6G). These generations is available to satisfy the users need. The basic goal of this paper is to simulate a 5G system in the physical layer for IoT applications. A proposed model in this paper is a sensing system for various signals schemes at different noisy channels. The model depends on new radio (NR) to work at high frequencies in wireless communication applications and IoT applications. The design of the system was based on using a variety types of modulation most commonly used in communication systems: OFDM, 8PSK and MQAM. Matlab simulation tools is used to implement the proposed system, where signals of various lengths and different types of noise were taken. The noise types such as AWGN, phase noise, frequency offset and Dc offset are applied to check the efficiency of the aimed system. The proposed 5G system have been implemented in software by matlab simulation tools to evaluate the results through constellation diagram, frequency spectrum and time scope shows a good response.

      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        5G is the next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards, following the present 4G LTE
(Long-Term Evolution) standards. Various industries must specify, develop, and deploy the technology.
Network equipment makers, network operators, and others are among the participants. Device
manufacturers and semiconductor vendors. 5G will have a wide range of applications. Mobile phones
to next-generation autos are only a few examples. The race to 5G is being driven by two big trends: the
increasing development in the need for wireless broadband that can transport video and other
contentrich services, and the IoT, which connects vast numbers of smart devices to the Internet. 5G will achieve
these goals by providing ultra-high broadband speeds, ultra-low latency, and ultra-reliable online
connectivity. 5G networks and devices will necessitate significantly different designs, radio access
technology, and physical layer algorithms than current networks and devices. Macro base stations,
which use millimeter wave technologies and enormous MIMO antenna arrays, will be supplemented by
dense networks of tiny cells. In addition, the equipment of network and devices processing will be more
integrated and adaptive [

        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        Hybrid beam forming, for example, is pushing the boundaries of wireless system development.
These highly integrated technologies necessitate a corresponding integration of domain skills and tools
in the engineering area. Figure 1 represents an examples of 5G Applications and Requirements [

      <p>The software defined radio (SDR) is the concept that is used in communication systems to perform
the concept to convert from radio frequency to baseband directly using programmable digital devices
such as FPGA and ASIC as seen figure 2.</p>
      <p>
        Wireless Software Defined Networking is a novel techniques which helps with network management
and setup in mobile cloud computing. Rather than boosting network performance or network security,
monitoring. More flexibility is required in today's networks and simple debugging; to get to this point,
SDN takes a detour. Conventional networks' vertical incorporation and through the ability to control
the network from a central location gives you more flexibility network programming SDN has the
ability to change the parameters of its network dependent on its operating conditions.
WSDN can be used to implement 5G networks. 5G-IoT systems will be speedier and more scalable
thanks to this new paradigm [

      <p>The evolution of IoT applications is increasingly being guided by 5G networks. 5G has the potential
to change the world. By making significant effect on future generation of IoT a network of billions of
sentient objects that generates genuine data IoT in the future and on a large scale. At the moment, IoT
identification is difficult. Because of the complexity of the gadgets, determining their capability is
extremely challenging. The requirements for a heterogeneous domain of applications should be met.
The requirements of the application International Data suggests that according to a survey by the
International Data Corporation (IDC), global 5G services will 70% of corporations are expected to
invest $1.2 billion on the project. Solutions for connectivity management IoT solutions in use today
specific application domains, such as healthcare, have a wide range of designs.</p>
      <p>BLE, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi are examples. LoraSixgfox networks, as well as cellular communications
(3GPP, LTE), and so on. With the introduction of new technologies, the Internet of Things is fast
evolving. Technology, particularly in the context of new application domains. IoT boost the life quality.
Lifestyles involving the linking of smart devices for the home and smart environments The Many
obstacles are emerging in the Industry IoT, as a new solution need changing business models [5, 6 and

      <p>The proposed system consist of the transmitter and the receiver that maintain uplink and downlink
respectively. Different channel types are used to test the quality of the system because of the RF
imperfections that cannot be neglected, especially in 5G with higher frequency, there will be a need for
greater integration between RF and baseband. For compliance testing, the 3GPP 5G NR standard offers
sets of link and waveform configurations. NR test models (NR-TM) for base station (BS) RF testing
and downlink fixed reference channels (FRC) for user equipment (UE) input testing are two types of
downlink conformance waveforms. OFDM-based transmission for both uplink and downlink was
developed for outdoor cellular deployments up to ~3GHz carrier frequency 15 KHz subcarrier spacing
4.7microsecond CP for the Uplink transmission according to the following table that represents the
specification of 5G NR waveform. For the U link-Downlink Configuration, It is provided as part of the
system information. To avoid severe interference between different cells, neighboring cells typically
have the same uplink downlink configuration. It is possibility to dynamically change the
uplinkdownlink configurations per frame. The Dynamic reconfiguration is useful in small and relatively
isolated cells where the traffic variations can be large and inter-cell interference is less of an issue.

      <title>4. Results and Discussion</title>
      <p>The proposed system uses the Matlab 2021 simulation tool in the design and simulation. The basic
purpose of this work is to get a good synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver even
when the impairments are founded. The details of the uplink is clear in table 2 that stand for the required
parameters of the system in the uplink case. It seen from the table that the frequency range is from 410
MHz to 7125MHz and the modulation types are PSK, QAM and OFDM.
Matlab simulation results shows the ability of the system to get the goal. Fig. 5 represents the time
scope for the signal (real and imaginary) for the uplink stage. Fig. 6 is the frequency spectrum of the
uplink stage.</p>
      <p>For QAM signal, the real and imaginary is represented on Fig. 7. The used filter is the root raised
cosine with roll off is 0.3 with input bit is 60000.</p>
      <p>When quadrature amplitude modulation is used, the spectrum will be as seen in Fig. 8 that dedicated
for the frequency spectrum in the case of 64QAM.</p>
      <p>The constellation diagram is measured to show the allocation for each one of the samples as shown
in Fig. 9 that represents the constellation diagram for the 8PSK at noiseless case.</p>
      <p>When the AWGN is applied on the system as the case as seen in Fig. 10, the phase angles are moved
and changed from the standard location.</p>
      <sec id="sec-4-1">
        <title>For the case of noiseless 64QAM, the constellation diagram is seen in Fig. 11.</title>
        <p>The system is effected when phase offset is applied as shown on Fig. 12 that represents the constellation
diagram for 64QAM for pi/4 phase offset.
For the case of OFDM, the OFDM subcarrier of all transmitters antennas is shown in Fig. 13.
5. Conclusions</p>
        <p>5G is the more attractive technology in our daily life in terms of the services and devices that users
need to use. As a result from the proposed system we see that the system deals with most power
modulation techniques (PSK, QAM and ODFM). The frequency spectrum and the constellation
diagram reflects the capability of the system at high frequency bands and the ability to overcome the
noise.</p>
