본 논문에서는 5G 네트워크에서 Null 보안 알고리즘 (Null Security Algorithm)을 악용한 IP 스푸핑 공격 (IP Spoofing Attack)의 실현 가능성을 3GPP 표준 규격에 근거하여 분석한다. 3GPP 표준 규격에 따르면, 초기 Registration Request 메시지는 암호화 및 무결성 보호를 받지 못한다. IP 스푸핑 공격은 피해자 UE (User Equipment)의 초기 Registration Request 메시지의 내용을 악의적인 gNB (next generation Node B)가 수정한 뒤 AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function)에게 전송할 수 있다는 취약점을 활용하는 공격이다. 공격이 성공하면, 피해자 UE는 5G 네트워크에서 연결이 끊어지고 악의적인 UE가 인터넷 서비스를 사용하지만 5G 사업자는 피해자 UE에게 요금을 청구한다. 본 논문에서는 IP 스푸핑 공격을 구성하는 각각의 시그널링 메시지가 3GPP Rel-17 표준 규격에서 허용되는 것인지 여부를 분석함으로써 IP 스푸핑 공격의 실현 가능성을 분석한다. 분석 결과, 3GPP Rel-17 표준 규격에 따라 구현된 5G 시스템에서 IP 스푸핑 공격은 실현 불가능한 공격으로 판단된다.

Despite the exponential throughput improvement in mobile communications systems, their ability to satisfy requirements of state-of-the-art and future applications of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is still under investigation. Challenges are mainly due to the inadequacy of third generation partnership project (3GPP) networks to support large amounts of devices simultaneously, while the number of AMI end-devices and the frequency of their data transmission increase with new AMI-based applications. In this introductory survey, innovative and future AMI applications and their communication requirements are first reviewed. Then, we identify challenges of 3GPP long term evolution (LTE) in enabling future AMI applications. More importantly, the latest improvements to LTE-A standard release 12 and 13 are reviewed and analyzed with regards to their potential to improve the quality of LTE-enabled AMI. It is found that 3GPP enhancements on machine type communications (MTC) standards will significantly enhance AMI communications. Beyond MTC specifications, non-MTC-specific enhancements such as carrier aggregation and multi-connectivity for user equipment will also contribute greatly to improving reliability and availability of AMI devices. The paper's focus is towards improved backhaul support for innovative and future AMI applications, beyond traditional automatic meter reading.

The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) mobile communication standard has emerged as a leading standard in the market over the past 20 years, driving continuous development in protocol stacks and libraries that support the standard within simulation software for communication network research. We summarize and analyze seven communication network simulators that support the 3GPP standard specifications related to core network technologies. Through comparisons, we aim to offer valuable insights for researchers and engineers engaged into research and development related to mobile communication networks based on 3GPP standards. Our findings can provide assistance for making informed decisions on simulator selection.

본 논문은 3 GPP 규격을 바탕으로 한 W-CDMA UE 시스템의 RF 성능관련 내용을 다루고 있으며 송수신 파라미터를 RF 성능관점에서 유출하였다. 최적의 UE성능을 얻기 위해 송신기에 대해서는 ACLR, EVM, 피크코드영역 에러, 스펙트럼 방사 마스크, 주파수 오차 안정도, 송신전력제어 범위와 같은 성능 요구사항을 고찰하였고 수신기에 대해서는 수신 감도, 블록킹 특성, 잡음지수, 인접채널 선택도, 수신 ACC 범위 등이 고려되었다. 요구된 파라미터들을 근거로 UE RF 트랜시버를 구현하였고 실제 측정 시나리오에 따라서 RF 성능평가를 수행하였다.

The new 5G radio technology (NR) can provide ultra-reliable low latency communications. The supporting 5G network infrastructure will move away from the previous point-to-point network architecture to a service-based architecture. 5G can provide three new things, i.e., wider channels, lower latency and more bandwidth. These will allow 5G to support three main types of connected services, including enhanced mobile broadband, mission-critical communications, and the massive Internet of Things (IoT). In 2015, the 5th generation (5G) mobile communication was officially approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as IMT-2020. Since then, 3GPP, the international organization responsible for 5G standards, is actively developing specifications for 5G technologies. 3GPP Release 15 provides the first full set of 5G standards, and the evolution and expansion of 5G are now being standardized in Release 16 and 17, respectively. This paper provides an overview of 3GPP 5G technologies and key services.

In order to provide high data rate and real time services under maritime environment, link-level performance of ship ad-hoc network (SANET) based on 3GPP LTE and IEEE 802.11p (WAVE) specifications are investigated and discussed in this paper. The measured maritime channel, whose delay spread is longer than the length of guard interval (GI) of both 3GPP LTE and IEEE 802.11p specifications, is adopted for the link-level simulations. For the purpose of eliminating inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to insufficient GI length, double antenna pattern (DAP) scheme and advanced time-domain decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) are proposed for LTE and WAVE systems, respectively. The proposed DFE removes the ISI in a same manner as the residual inter-symbol interference cancellation (RISIC) algorithm, but the inter-carrier interference (ICI) is reduced via cyclicity removal instead of cyclicity restoration used in the RISIC algorithm. Compared with existing schemes, our proposed DFE is a robust technique to overcome the severe ISI channel which has a comparatively large delay spread. Based on simulation results, not only comparisons between systems are discussed, but also some reformative suggestions are given.

With the rapid progress of wireless mobile communications, the authenticated key agreement (AKA) protocol has attracted an increasing amount of attention. However, due to the limitations of bandwidth and storage of the mobile devices, most of the existing AKA protocols are not suitable for wireless mobile communications. Recently, Lo and others presented an efficient AKA protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography and included their protocol in 3GPP2 specifications. However, in this letter, we point out that Lo and others' protocol is vulnerable to an offline password guessing attack. To resist the attack, we also propose an efficient countermeasure.

This paper presents the unified user equipment (UE) baseband modulation and demodulation (modem) hardware platform architecture to support multiple radio access technologies. In particular, this platform selectively supports two systems; one is HEDGE system, which is the combination of third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 7 high speed packet access evolution (HSPA+) and global system for mobile communication (GSM)/general packet radio service (GPRS)/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), while the other is LEDGE system, which is the combination of 3GPP Release 8 long term evolution (LTE) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. This is done by applying the flexible pin multiplexing scheme to a hardwired pin mapping process. On the other hand, to provide stable connection, high portability, and high debugging ability, the stacking structure is employed. Here, a layered board architecture grouped by functional classifications is applied instead of the conventional one flatten board. Based on this proposed configuration, we provide a framework for the verification step in wireless cellular communications. Also, modem function/scenario test and inter-operability test with various base station equipments are verified by system requirements and scenarios.

With the timeline released by ITU-R (Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union), research and development activities for the International Mobile Telecommunications for 2030 and beyond (IMT-2030) are now in full swing. We provide an overview of the general process of making global core specifications for next-generation mobile systems and summarize the ITU-R Recommendation of the IMT-2030 Framework. The ITU-R Recommendation focuses on IMT-2030 usage scenarios and related capabilities. The expectations of 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) activities for the proposal of candidate IMT-2030 global core specifications to the ITU-R are also discussed. The launch of IMT-2030 for commercial purposes is expected to begin in 2030.
