Abstract(in English) Mobile communications network has evolved into the 4th generation (4G) after 35 years from its birth in December of 1979. We witnessed the new generation every 10 years. From 1G to 2G, the coverage extension was the most important concern. Between 2G and 3G, there was a big leap in the radio transmission data rate. The major communication service was the voice in 1G and 2G networks. In 3G mobile communications, high speed data communications of up to 2Mbps was targeted. Since the start of 3G services, video communications have been getting popular. In 3.9G LTE and 4G LTE-A, much higher quality video communications and close-to-1Gbps broadband data services will become more and more popular. Therefore, the area spectrum efficiency (bps/Hz/km2) is a paramount concern. The mobile data traffic volume in 2020 is expected to reach about 1000 times of 2010. In 5G, much broader data services (>1Gbps/user) and massive device connections services are expected. Hence, not only the radio energy efficiency (bits/Joule) but also the network energy efficiency becomes an important concern. In this paper, we overview the evolution of mobile communications technology over the past 35 years and discuss about the technical issues toward 5G. Finally, we will introduce the distributed antenna cooperative wireless signal transmission techniques which improve simultaneously the spectrum and energy efficiencies while providing seamless connection.
