In this work, we propose a realistic semantic network called seq2seq-SC, designed to be compatible with 5G NR and capable of working with generalized text datasets using a pre-trained language model. The goal is to achieve unprecedented…
The security context used in 5G authentication is generated during the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) procedure and stored in both the user equipment (UE) and the network sides for the subsequent fast registration procedure. Given…
Cellular networks require strict security procedures and measures across various network components, from core to radio access network (RAN) and end-user devices. As networks become increasingly complex and interconnected, as in O-RAN…
