Abstract
The emerging 5G telecommunication technology uses novel aspects to fulfill the challenges of high data rate, ultralow latency, broad bandwidth with the best user experience. The essential use cases of 5G technology are eMBB, mMTC, and URLLC for quality of service and customer satisfaction. Internet of drones (IoD), smart agriculture, mobile edge computing, industry 4.0, digital twin, autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, cyber security, and enterprise transformation are some of the applications of 5G use cases. To implement these applications, a huge amount of sensors, machines, and devices are interconnected, and massive data will be generated on a real-time basis. This can be managed by cutting-edge technologies such as network slicing, massive MIMO with beamforming, loT and cloud computing, software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), and cloud RAN. Since the 5G network is ultradense and heterogeneous (multitier), hence an extensive number of networks will be connected. This leads to the challenge of data and information security. Due to this security concern, user privacy becomes a vulnerable issue in 5G. This research work lists out the possible threats of 5G security and provides elucidation for it.
