Abstract

Abstract: The recent advancements in the field of next generation mobile communication provides scope to a variety of new areas by connecting various devices through a common platform for data transfer. The addition of several applications like e-health monitoring, smart homes, surveillance etc can be managed from a remote location. It not only opens the door for new researches but also boost the requirement to secure the network from the eye of the potential attackers. In this paper, a detailed survey has been done on security issues and their possible solutions in Ultra Dense Networks for 5G wireless network architecture. With this, a detailed explanation about security issues of physical layer in Massive MIMO, Jamming, VANET and D2D have been provided with best efforts. Also, the description about the security flaws of spectrum shared, IoT devices have been explained. At the end, the architecture for security attacks in UDN has been proposed with proper thought process in the increasing order of their risk factor. Graphical abstract: Proposed cellular architecture for Ultra dense network based on the risk factor. In order to meet the growing demand of high data rate by subscribers and providing with the satisfactory results, the next generation (5G) of cellular communication is equipped with large number of small cells. Due to integration of large number of user density and small cells (e.g. Picocell, femtocells, WiFi etc.) opens gate for attacker to exploit the weakness. Thus, in this architecture we have listed out 5 attacks with will affect the performance of the network on a larger scale. Although, the list of attacks is enormous but immediate work in these major attacks should be done in order to meet the performance goals. Highlights: Security issues in Emerging Technologies (eg. Massive MIMO, D2D, VANET, IoT etc.) along with security challenges, possible solution. Basic architecture of UDN along with general and security challenges. Listed out the possible attacks in UDN along with detailed discussion and presented in tabular form. Proposed security architecture for UDN based on risk factor.
