5G Enabled Secure Wireless Networks

Abstract

In the next decade, mobile traffic will supposedly increase a thousand-fold compared with what we are currently using owing to the addition of IoT devices, immense multimedia data circulation, and automated devices such as driverless cars. To fulfill the ongoing growth, the next-generation cellular network should able to accommodate this size in its service span. At the same time, the low-latency, high-span service is becoming a necessity of today’s devices. To accomplish the future demand, large-scale network adaptation requires next-generation cellular infrastructure, known as fifth generation (5G). In this chapter, we discuss how these requirements can be achieved over the next 10 years. We have covered the techniques that we presume to have a good possibility of being adopted in next-generation 5G networks. The proposed technology has been described in several texts and accepted in many technical recommendation reports. It is observed that large-capacity growth can only be possible with major architectural adoption in cellular and wireless network technology. This chapter provides insights into the evolution of cellular technology and can be used as a guideline for technology development toward 5G.

1.1 I NEMO

It is a domain-specific language (DSL), following the declarative programming paradigm. Its progressing project is to make abstract specification on an end-point, describe a network end-point, a connection, describe connectivity requirements between network end-points, and an operation describes packet operations.

Huawei is currently leading an implementation initiative, based on ODL and the OPNFV project [71]. In parallel, the ONF has recently organized a work group to standardize a common intent model. The group aims to fulfill two objectives:

  1. a.

    Define the architecture and requirements of intent implementations across controllers and define portable intent expressions.

  2. b.

    Develop a community-approved information model that unifies intent interfaces across controllers.

The particular standard is combined with the improvement of the Boulder structure [72], an open-source [73], OpenStack Neutron [74], and portable intent system that can be incorporated into all major SDNs. Its intent toward the goals through a grammar, which comprises subjects, predicates, and targets. The dialect can be extended to incorporate imperatives and conditions. The reference support execution has set up similarity with ODL through the Network Intent Composition (NIC) project, whereas ONOS support is currently being worked on.
