Abstract: Fifth generation (5G) technology is in huge demand in the communication scenario due to its advanced features. The 5G communication shifts the wireless signal to the frequency range of 30-300 GHz and minimises the wavelength from centimetre to millimetre. Hence, it generates a large bandwidth and reduces traffic congestion on the network. In this survey, 50 research papers are reviewed based on the beamforming techniques used to enable the data rate in the network. 5G mobile communication methods are classified based on beamforming methods like phased array, network slicing, millimeter wave, filter bank multi carrier (FBMC), and wideband approach. Moreover, the challenges faced by the existing techniques are explained in the gaps and issues section. The analysis based on the classification, toolset, and performance metrics is discussed. The future dimension of the research is based on the gaps and issues identified in the existing research works.

Keywords: beamforming; mobile communication; millimeter-wave (mm-wave); phased array antenna; dual-band antenna.
