Fake base station (FBS) attack is a great security challenge to wireless user equipment (UE). During the cell selection stage, the UE receives multiple synchronization signals (SSs) from multiple nearby base stations (BSs), and then…

Fake base stations (FBSes) pose a significant security threat by impersonating legitimate base stations (BSes). Though efforts have been made to defeat this threat, up to this day, the presence of FBSes and the multi-step attacks (MSAs)…

The lack of authentication during the initial bootstrapping phase between cellular devices and base stations allows attackers to deploy fake base stations and send malicious messages to the devices. These attacks have been a long-existing…

This letter analyzes the handover probability in a drone cellular network where the initial positions of drone base stations (DBSs) serving a set of user equipment (UE) on the ground are modeled by a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP).…

Extremely large-scale arrays (XL-arrays) have emerged as a promising technology to improve the spectrum efficiency and spatial resolution of future wireless systems. Different from existing works that mostly considered physical layer…

A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) testbed serves as a powerful platform for testing and validating cyber intrusion detection and mitigation strategies in substations. This study presents the design and development of a CPS testbed that can…

The heterogeneous cellular network (HCN) is a promising approach to the deployment of 5G cellular networks. This paper comprehensively studies physical layer security in a multi-tier HCN where base stations (BSs), authorized users and…

This paper investigates physical layer security (PLS) in a movable antenna (MA)-assisted full-duplex (FD) system. In this system, an FD base station (BS) with multiple MAs for transmission and reception provides services for an uplink (UL)…

Backward compatibility is an essential ingredient for the success of new technologies. In the context of in-band full-duplex (FD) communication, FD base stations (BSs) should support half-duplex (HD) users' equipment (UEs) without…

In a spoofing attack, an attacker impersonates a legitimate user to access or modify data belonging to the latter. Typical approaches for spoofing detection in the physical layer declare an attack when a change is observed in certain…

5G Cell Search (CS) is the first step for user equipment (UE) to initiate the communication with the 5G node B (gNB) every time it is powered ON. In cellular networks, CS is accomplished via synchronization signals (SS) broadcasted by gNB.…

Forward Secrecy (FS) is a security property in key-exchange algorithms which guarantees that a compromise in the secrecy of a long-term private-key does not compromise the secrecy of past session keys. With a growing awareness of long-term…

Before establishing a communication link in a cellular network, the user terminal must activate a synchronization procedure called initial cell search in order to acquire specific information about the serving base station. To accomplish…

This paper proposes a two phase framework to improve the sustainability in vertical heterogeneous networks that integrate various types of base stations~(BSs), including terrestrial macro BSs~(MBSs), small BSs~(SBSs), and a high altitude…

Ensuring strong synchronization signal block (SSB) coverage is essential for reliable user equipment (UE) connection during initial access. While techniques such as power boosting and network densification are commonly used, this work…

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in false base station detection systems. Most of these rely on software that users download into their mobile phones. The software either performs an analysis of radio environment…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in cellular networks have garnered considerable interest. One of their applications is as flying base stations (FBSs), which can increase coverage and quality of service (QoS). Because FBSs are…

Due to the broadcast nature of wireless medium, wireless communication is highly vulnerable to eavesdropping attack. Traditionally, secure wireless data transmission has relied on cryptographic techniques at the network layer which incur…

PHYSEC based message authentication can, as an alternative to conventional security schemes, be applied within \gls{urllc} scenarios in order to meet the requirement of secure user data transmissions in the sense of authenticity and…

Data applications may typically tolerate a moderate delay before packet transmission between user equipment (UE) and cell begins. This delay can be taken advantage to reduce the communication distance, improve coverage probability, and…
