5G could be
a continuous evolution of the LTE technology in the <6 GHz frequency bands, complemented with disruptive add-ons for higher frequency bands alternatively, a completely new air interface also for the current bands, if justified by significant benefits and/or the reunion of complementary technologies (3GPP and non 3GPP)

Economic pressure
has a strong impact on mobile operators who are now trying to reduce OPEX and CAPEX as much as possible through network sharing Mobile network technologies need to allow/facilitate network sharing

Conclusion
It is yet unclear what 5G will be, but several candidates technology component are under study
Evolutions of known concepts: 3D MIMO, C-RAN, inter-RAT interworking, etc. Disruptive concepts: ultra-dense small cells, massive MIMO, etc. High frequency bands (> 6 GHz) may be needed around year 2025
The benefits of departing from the LTE technology will need to be carefully analysed
significant changes to the air interface could be incorporated into LTE via nonbackward compatible carriers
Deployment constraints (EMF regulation, difficulty to find new sites, spectrum fragmentation) might affect the future development of mobile networks
