Abstract
5G is an emerging technology and is not going to be an update to its predecessors. Researchers are intended to achieve a head-turning advancement in terms of all the way performances such as data rates, network reliability, massive connectivity, mobility, energy efficiency, latency, secure channel, spectral efficiency, etc. 5G is going to be an end-to-end system that will provide hyper-connectivity to its users. It is supposed to support roughly three use cases, i.e., Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC). All these create convergence among wireless communication and computer networking that incorporates Software-Driven Network (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Service-Based Architecture (SBA), 5G new radio technologies (M-MIMO, mmWave, UDN, FD), massive IoT techniques. This hyper-convergence will introduce new trust and security threats and relevant threat management challenges. In this paper, we tried to summarize why and how 5G is evolved and the technology requirements for 5G revolutions, and the steps adopted for technology change over to 5G. We focused on potential threats and challenges and their suggested mitigation techniques. Several open issues are identified, and possible future research directions are also discussed in this paper.
