• Abstract: This document provides an overview of 5G network security, describing various components of the 5G core network architecture and what kind of security services are offered by these 5G components. It also explores the potential security risks and vulnerabilities presented by the security architecture in 5G and recommends some of the best practices for the 5G network admins to consider while deploying a secure 5G network, based on the surveyed documents from the European government's efforts in commercializing the IoT devices and securing supply chain over 5G networks.

  5G networks need to support three typical usage scenarios, namely, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) and massive machine-type communications (mMTC) On the one hand, UAVs can be leveraged as cost-effective aerial platforms to provide ground users with enhanced communication services by exploiting their high cruising altitude and controllable maneuverability in 3D space. On the other hand, providing such communication services simultaneously for both UAV and ground users poses new challenges due to the need for ubiquitous 3D signal coverage as well as the strong air-ground network interference.
