CURRENT TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES AND STANDARDS: AN OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH FOR 2024

DOI: 10.31673/2786-8362.2024.026142

Abstract

This study is aimed at analysing the current capabilities of
information and communication (fibre optics technology consortium and telecommunications industry
associations for the development, implementation and improvement of standards) and networking
technologies, with a particular focus on the study and research of Ethernet and 5G networks. The relevance
of this study lies in the need to review the study of technology integration, development of relevant
standards and ensuring their widespread implementation, which requires a detailed study of current trends,
trends and innovations, as well as possible ways to address existing challenges.
Based on the review of research for 2024, it was found that IEEE 802.3 standards are constantly being
used, implemented and improved. The paper considers the Ethernet standards IEEE 802.3bt, IEEE 802.3bz,
IEEE P802.3cw, IEEE P802.3df, and IEEE P802.3dj.
Based on the analysed material, the main trends in the development and implementation of Wi-Fi
technologies for 2024 were studied, where the main issues related to achievements, comparison of Wi-Fi,
5G and 6G technologies and networks, as well as the possibility of using network technologies in
combination with smart technologies were investigated. After analysing the research materials, special
attention was paid to the main challenges and problems of Wi-Fi development in 2024 (frequency spectrum
congestion, security, energy consumption and infrastructure costs), which remains relevant today. The
study suggests that, given global trends and forecasts, Ukraine should embark on the development and
implementation of 5G networks, which is more rational, as 4G networks require significant financial
investments and may take a long time to roll out, and once 5G networks are in place in Ukraine, 6G networks
will start to gain popularity globally.

Keywords: standard, IEEE 802.3, consortium, Wi-Fi, Internet of Things, Ethernet, 5G and 6G
