Achieve Secure Handover Session Key Management via Mobile Relay in LTE-Advanced Networks
Internet of Things is increasing the network by group action immense quantity of close objects which needs the secure and reliable transmission of the high volume knowledge generation, and also the mobile relay technique is one among the economical ways in which to satisfy the on-board knowledge explosion in LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) networks. However, the observe of the mobile relay can cause potential threats to the knowledge security throughout the relinquishing method. Therefore, to handle this challenge, during this paper, we have a tendency to propose a secure relinquishing session key management theme via mobile relay in LTE-A networks. Specifically, within the planned theme, to realize forward and backward key separations, the session key shared between the on-board user instrumentality (UE) and also the connected donor evolved node B (DeNB) is initial generated by the on-board UE then firmly distributed to the DeNB. moreover, to cut back the communication overhead and also the process complexness, a unique proxy re-encryption technique is used, wherever the session keys at the start encrypted with the general public key of the quality management entity (MME) are going to be re-encrypted by a mobile relay node (MRN), so alternative DeNB will later rewrite the session keys with their own non-public keys whereas while not the direct involvement of the MME. elaborated security analysis shows that the planned theme will with success establish session keys between the on-board UEs and their connected DeNB, achieving backward and forward key separations, and resisting against the collusion between the MRN and also the DeNB because the same time. Additionally, performance evaluations via in depth simulations area unit applied to demonstrate the potency and effectiveness of the planned theme
Security for 5G Mobile Wireless Networks
The advanced features of 5G mobile wireless network systems yield new security requirements and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on security of 5G wireless network systems compared to the traditional cellular networks. The paper starts with a review on 5G wireless networks particularities as well as on the new requirements and motivations of 5G wireless security. The potential attacks and security services with the consideration of new service requirements and new use cases in 5G wireless networks are then summarized. The recent development and the existing schemes for the 5G wireless security are presented based on the corresponding security services including authentication, availability, data confidentiality, key management and privacy. The paper further discusses the new security features involving different technologies applied to 5G such as heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output, software defined networks and Internet of Things. Motivated by these security research and development activities, we propose a new 5G wireless security architecture, based on which the analysis of identity management and flexible authentication is provided. As a case study, we explore a handover procedure as well as a signaling load scheme to show the advantage of the proposed security architecture. The challenges and future directions of 5G wireless security are finally summarized
Performance analysis and deployment of VoLTE mechanisms over 3GPP LTE-based networks
Long Term Evolution based networks lack native support for Circuit Switched (CS) services. The Evolved Packet System (EPS) which includes the Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) is a purely all-IP packet system. This introduces the problem of how to provide voice call support when a user is within an LTE network and how to ensure voice service continuity when the user moves out of LTE coverage area. Different technologies have been proposed for the purpose of providing a voice to LTE users and to ensure the service continues outside LTE networks. The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the overall performance of these technologies along with Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) Inter-RAT handover to Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Networks/ GSM-EDGE radio access Networks (UTRAN/GERAN). The possible solutions for providing voice call and service continuity over LTE-based networks are Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB), Voice over LTE via Generic Access (VoLGA), Voice over LTE (VoLTE) based on IMS/MMTel with SRVCC and Over The Top (OTT) services like Skype. This paper focuses mainly on the 3GPP standard solutions to implement voice over LTE. The paper compares various aspects of these solutions and suggests a possible roadmap that mobile operators can adopt to provide seamless voice over LTE

Interworking in heterogeneous wireless networks: comprehensive framework and future trends
Interworking mechanisms are of prime importance
to achieve ubiquitous access and seamless
mobility in heterogeneous wireless networks. In
this article we develop a comprehensive framework
to categorize interworking solutions by
defining a generic set of interworking levels and
its related key interworking mechanisms. The
proposed framework is used to analyze some of
the most relevant interworking solutions being
considered in different standardization bodies.
More specifically, I-WLAN and GAN approaches
for WLAN and cellular integration, solutions
for WiMAX and 3GPP LTE/SAE interworking,
and the forthcoming IEEE 802.21 standard are
discussed from the common point of view provided
by the elaborated framework.Postprint (published version
Future Trends and Challenges for Mobile and Convergent Networks
Some traffic characteristics like real-time, location-based, and
community-inspired, as well as the exponential increase on the data traffic in
mobile networks, are challenging the academia and standardization communities
to manage these networks in completely novel and intelligent ways, otherwise,
current network infrastructures can not offer a connection service with an
acceptable quality for both emergent traffic demand and application requisites.
In this way, a very relevant research problem that needs to be addressed is how
a heterogeneous wireless access infrastructure should be controlled to offer a
network access with a proper level of quality for diverse flows ending at
multi-mode devices in mobile scenarios. The current chapter reviews recent
research and standardization work developed under the most used wireless access
technologies and mobile access proposals. It comprehensively outlines the
impact on the deployment of those technologies in future networking
environments, not only on the network performance but also in how the most
important requirements of several relevant players, such as, content providers,
network operators, and users/terminals can be addressed. Finally, the chapter
concludes referring the most notable aspects in how the environment of future
networks are expected to evolve like technology convergence, service
convergence, terminal convergence, market convergence, environmental awareness,
energy-efficiency, self-organized and intelligent infrastructure, as well as
the most important functional requisites to be addressed through that
infrastructure such as flow mobility, data offloading, load balancing and
vertical multihoming.Comment: In book 4G & Beyond: The Convergence of Networks, Devices and
