Abstract
Recently, densified small cell deployment with overlay coverage through coexisting heterogeneous access networks has emerged as a viable solution for 5G mobile network architectures. While they provide useful features, these architectures bring new challenges to security provisioning due to the potential frequent mobility and authentication requirements in small cells and HetNets. This paper proposes a new authentication approach that copes with users mobility. It is based on a concept called agreement graph, allows 5G users to move freely, and improves machine access continuity and seamless authentication to registered users, while allowing local and temporary identification of non registered machines.
