5G Base Station Deployment Review for RF Radiation

The 5G is expected to make great change for Mobile network and technology in the coming years. there is extensive discussion about the electromagnetic radiation that the 5G will contribute and its impact to the human and other technologies. The aggressive deployment of the technology associated with the new massive Internet of Things (IoT) devices, all are indicator to the great electromagnetic radiation and exposure that 5G may cause. This problem considered as a challenge constrain for deployment of massive 5G base stations especially in residential areas. This paper reviews the recent works on the Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) radiation assessment for 5G base stations (BS) on human evaluation and analysis from different perspectives. The review covers the international standard exposure limits adopted by some of the regulatory bodies. The reviewed cases are classified into two main categories, assessment based on model simulation, and on field measurement, where both categories have the same objective to assess and evaluate the EMF radiation exposure from BSs.
