The fifth-generation (5G) is designed to accommodate various applications, including broadband, mMTC, and URLLC, all in a single protocol. In its most basic form, the target of 5G is to provide reliable and continued connectivity for the user despite obstacles and challenges. These obstacles and challenges vary depending on the scenario, whether it’s an urban or rural area. For instance, in an urban area, congestion and interference within the spectrum being utilized may occur. While, in a rural area, a lack of access due to the inability to reach the local base station and a slow connection may occur because of streaming data-hungry applications such as HD video, augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), autonomous driving, or tactile internet (TI) usage. In addition to some other industrial applications attempting to receive data from thousands of sensor nodes in order to track/monitor machine equipment all without a hitch.

This study focuses on the 5G backhaul network and the impacts of backhaul technologies on QoS and user experiences, in particular delay and bandwidth requirements. Thus, to help providers, developers, and deployers introduce 5G technology for developing countries, which will have a great impact on improving their quality of life in terms of transportation, education, health, agriculture, and other fields, thereby holding the promise of economic transformation by improving productivity and the quality of life.

The one-way delay and bandwidth for different 5G scenarios and backhaul network technologies are simulated and analyzed. A proper design solution is proposed that will help to eliminate delay, economize bandwidth, and facilitate the introduction of this new technology for developing countries.
