• Abstract: In the era of Industry 4.0, the growing need for secure and efficient communication systems has driven the development of fifth-generation (5G) networks characterized by extremely low latency, massive device connectivity and high data transfer speeds. However, the deployment of 5G networks presents significant security challenges, requiring advanced and robust solutions to counter increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This paper proposes a testbed and software architecture to strengthen the security of Private 5G Networks, particularly in industrial communication environments.

  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.
