As 5G mobile systems carry multiple services and applications, numerous user, and application types with varying quality of service requirements inside a single physical network infrastructure are the primary problem in constructing 5G networks. Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing is introduced as a way to solve these challenges. This research focuses on optimizing RAN slices within a singular physical cell for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) UEs, highlighting the importance of adept resource management and allocation for the evolving landscape of 5G services. We put forth two unique strategies: one being offline network slicing, also referred to as standard network slicing, and the other being Online reinforcement learning (RL) network slicing. Both strategies aim to maximize network efficiency by gathering network model characteristics and augmenting radio resources for eMBB and V2X UEs. When compared to traditional network slicing, RL network slicing shows greater performance in the allocation and utilization of UE resources. These steps are taken to adapt to fluctuating traffic loads using RL strategies, with the ultimate objective of bolstering the efficiency of generic 5G services.

Wireless access technologies are emerging to enable high data rates for mobile users and novel applications that encompass both human and machine-type interactions. An essential approach to meet the rising demands on network capacity and offer high coverage for wireless users on upcoming fifth generation (5G) networks is heterogeneous networks (HetNets), which are generated by combining the installation of macro cells with a large number of densely distributed small cells Deployment in 5G architecture has several issues because to the rising complexity of network topology in 5G HetNets with many distinct base station types. Aside from the numerous benefits that dense small cell deployment delivers, it also introduces key mobility management issues such as frequent handover (HO), failures, delays and pingpong HO. This article investigates 5G HetNet mobility management in terms of radio resource control. This article also discusses the key challenges for 5G mobility management.

4차 산업혁명시대에 발맞춰 통신 기술도 5G 기술이 보편화되고 있으며, 5G 기술은 네트워크 슬라이싱, 초다접속 등의 기술을 이용해 4G에 비해 빠른 속도와 응답 속도를 최소화한 기술로 평가 받고 있다. 5G NR은 5G 이동통신 표준을 의미하고, 네트워크 슬라이싱을 통해 네트워크를 병렬연결로 잘라 네트워크를 최적화한다. 또한 기지국 단위에서도 데이터를 처리하게 되면서 해킹에 대한 위험이 증가 되고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 단위면적당 접속 가능한 기기의 수가 기하급수적으로 늘어나므로 단위면적 내 기기 다수 해킹 후 기지국 공격 가능성 또한 존재한다. 이에 해결 방안으로는 양자암호통신 도입, 5G 보안 표준화 등을 본 연구에서 제안하여 안전성과 통신속도를 전부 만족시키는 방안을 제안한다.

The 5G is the 5th generation mobile network that provides enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable & low latency communications, and massive machine-type communications. New services can be provided through multi-access edge computing, network function virtualization, and network slicing, which are key technologies in 5G mobile communication. However, these new technologies provide new attack paths and threats. In this paper, we analyzed the overall threats of 5G mobile communication through a literature review. First, defines 5G mobile communication, analyzes its features and technology architecture, and summarizes possible security issues. Addition, it presents security threats from the perspective of user devices, radio access network, multi-access edge computing, and core networks that constitute 5G mobile communication. After that, security requirements for threat factors were derived through literature analysis. The purpose of this study is to conduct a fundamental analysis to examine and assess the overall threat factors associated with 5G mobile communication. Through this, it will be possible to protect the information and assets of individuals and organizations that use 5G mobile communication technology, respond to various threat situations, and increase the overall level of 5G security.

Network and network functions virtualization (NFV) promise a number of attractive benefits and thus have driven mobile network operators to transform their previously static networks to more dynamic and software-defined networks. In this article, we share a mobile network operator's view based on implementation and deployment experiences in the wild during the past few years towards a software-defined 5G core network. More specifically, we present a practical point of view from mobile network operators and elaborate on why some of the virtualization benefits such as total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction are not easily realized as initially intended. Then, we describe 5G visions, services, and their requirements commonly agreed across mobile operators globally. Given the requirements, we then introduce desirable characteristics of 5G mobile core network and its key enabling technologies.

본 논문에서는 5G 이동통신의 서비스 트래픽 특성 및 주파수를 분석하고, 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 망구축 및 운용 방안을 제시하였다. 5G 이동통신 서비스는 수 kbps의 음성 및 사물인터넷 서비스부터 1 Gbps 이상의 홀로그램 영상 서비스까지 다양한 데이터 전송 속도를 나타내고 있다. 5G 이동통신 서비스는 다양한 데이터 전송 속도와 모바일 서비스 트래픽의 증가로 인한 다중 주파수 대역을 이용함으로써 다양한 셀 커버리지 환경을 나타낸다. 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해서는 새로운 서비스 환경에서 나타나는 서비스 커버리지와 다중 대역 주파수의 최적화된 망구축이 필요하다. 현재 논의되는 5G 주파수 블록을 고려하여 3.5 GHz 대역이 5G 서비스 100 Mbps를 셀 경계 200 m에서 제공한다고 가정하면, 28 GHz 대역은 1 Gbps의 홀로그램 서비스를 셀 경계 50 m에서 그리고 500 Mbps 4k UHD 서비스를 셀 경계 100 m에서 제공할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 다양한 5G 서비스를 다중 주파수 대역과 매칭하는 주파수 포트폴리오를 구성한 망구축 방안은 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있다.

We implemented a real-time cloud robotics application by offloading robot navigation engine over to 5G Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) sever. We also ran a fleet management system (FMS) in the server and controlled the movements of multiple robots at the same time. The mobile robots under the test were connected to the server through 5G SA network. Public 5G network, which is already commercialized, has been temporarily modified to support this validation by the network operator. Robot engines are containerized based on micro-service architecture and have been deployed using Kubernetes - a container orchestration tool. We successfully demonstrated that mobile robots are able to avoid obstacles in real-time when the engines are remotely running in 5G MEC server. Test results are compared with 5G Public Cloud and 4G (LTE) Public Cloud as well.

As implementation of the in-band full duplex (IFD) transceiver becomes feasible, research interest is growing with respect to using IFD communication with cellular networks. However, the cellular network in which the IFD communication is applied inevitably suffers from an increase of the co-channel interference (CCI) due to IFD simultaneous transmission and reception. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a cellular network based on uni-directional IFD (UD-IFD) communication, wherein an IFD base station simultaneously supports downlink and uplink transmissions of half-duplex (HD) users. In addition, a multi-pair CCI cancellation (MP-CCIC) method combining CCIC and user pairing is proposed to improve the performance of the UD-IFD network. Simulation results showed that, compared to a conventional HD cellular network without using CCIC, capacity gain was not obtained in the UD-IFD cellular network. On the other hand, when applying the proposed MP-CCIC, the capacity of the UD-IFD cellular network greatly improved compared to that of an HD cellular network.

Recently, South Korea preferentially allocated frequencies to build 5G networks as a core competitiveness of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Although the government recognize the importance of 5G construction and preoccupation, network operators have limited to some services, testing the possibility of practical use of 5G. They hesitated to actively build and to carry out the service of a complete 5G network. While 5G is being developed and standardized like this, no one is sure of this step exactly what 5G will be. Thus, following research questions are asked by various stakeholders of 5G market: What is an ideal service providing method for the practical use of 5th generation mobile network? And what are the critical elements to be considered when selecting the service providing method? Therefore, the study aims to investigate 5G service providing issues and elements to be considered and to provide most appropriate service providing method for the practical use of 5G. The results identify that 'Specialized Service' is most appropriate method at the aspects of benefit and opportunity as well as the aspect of risk. In addition, the outcomes imply that the experts replying to the survey not only expect the expansion of emerging market, but also concern the social risk and cost. Since the study dealt with economic, social and business issues in providing 5G service, it might contribute not only to practical research, but also to academic research regarding 5G service method.
