With the rising popularity of smart-phones, the supply of Internet protocol television is largely increased and it causes the wireless communication network load to be increased. To overcome such an overloading problem, 3GPP is now working on the standardization of MBMS since LTE Release 6 specification. MBMS has good performance in bandwidth efficiency by sharing the same bandwidth with the mulitple MBMS users having the same content. According to the proposed algorithm, in heterogeneous networks having a dispersed Single-cell MBMS where 3GPP network and Wi-Fi network are mixed, if the number of MBMS users, who are belonging to cells supporting a dispersed Single-cell MBMS, is more than a specified threshold, the MBMS priority policy is operated. Otherwise, the Wi-Fi priority policy is executed. As the simulation results show both the increase of total available bandwidth ratio and the decrease of network usage cost, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme allows the network efficiency to be maximized.

Demand for the femtocell is largely credited to the surge in a more always best connected communication conscious public. 3GPP defines new architecture and security requirement for Release 9 to deal with femtocell, Home eNode B referred as HeNB. In this paper, we analyze the HeNB security with respect to mutual authentication, access control, and secure key agreement. Our analysis pointed out that a number of security vulnerabilities have still not been addressed and solved by 3GPP technical specification. These include eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attack, compromising subscriber access list, and masquerading as valid HeNB. To the best of our knowledge, any related research studying HeNB security was not published before. Towards this end, this paper proposes an improved authentication and key agreement mechanism for HeNB which adopts proxy-signature and proxy-signed proxy-signature. Through our elaborate analysis, we conclude that the proposed not only prevents the various security threats but also accomplishes minimum distance from use-tolerable authentication delay.

2G에서부터 5G 이동 통신 시대까지 허위 기지국 공격의 위협은 이어져 왔다. 허위 기지국은 정상 기지국으로 위장하여 사용자의 정보를 수집하거나 서비스 거부 공격 등을 수행하는 기지국을 말한다. 바로 이전 세대인 LTE에서는 가짜 재난 문자, 멀웨어 전파, Device Bidding Down 공격 등의 사례가 발표 또는 보고되었다. 5G에서도 LTE의 공격 사례와 같은 공격들이 발생할 수 있어 이에 대한 보안 대책이 연구될 필요가 있다. 현재 3GPP TR 33.809 문서에서 5G에서의 허위 기지국 관련 주요 이슈와 솔루션들이 논의되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 TR 33.809 문서를 바탕으로 5G의 보안을 위한 허위 기지국 대응에 대한 주요 이슈들을 중심으로 분석한다.

This paper presented the implementation and design of the 2T-2R wireless HD video streaming systems over 1.7 GHz frequency band using 3GPP LTE-TDD standard on NI USRP RIO SDR platform. The baseband of the system used USRP RIO that are stored in Xilinx Kintex-7 chip to implement LTE-TDD transceiver modem, the signal that are transmitted from USRP RIO up or down converts to 1.7 GHz by using self-designed 1.7 GHz RF transceiver modules and it is finally communicated HD video data through self-designed 2x9 sub array antennas. It is that communication method between USRP RIO and Host PC use PCI express x4 to minimize delay of data to transmit and receive. The implemented system show high error vector magnitude performance above 32 dBc and to transmit and receive HD video in experiment environment anywhere. The proposed hybrid beam forming system could be used not only in the future 5G mobile communication systems under 6 GHz frequency band but also in the systems over 6 GHz frequency band like ones in mmWave frequency bands.

The SC-FDMA(single carrier-frequency division multiple access) was recently adopted as the uplink multiple access scheme from 3GPP LTE(3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Tenn Evolution) due to its low PAPR (Peak-to-averaged power ratio). The bandwidth of IFDMA(interleaved FDMA), one of the sub-carrier mapping methods of SC-FDMA, gets narrower as the roll-off factor of RRC(root raised cosine) filter decreases from 1 to 0, whereas its PAPR can increase significantly. In practice, to increase the power efficiency of an amplifier, signals with high PAPR undergo the process of clipping. Clipping of signals may cause regeneration of high-frequency components as well as distortion of signals. The current paper deals with the effect of clipping on the spectrum and BER of IFDMA signals with RRC filters.

Current mobile communication system is in the mid-process of conversion from 4G LTE to 5G network. According to the generalization of mobile communication services, personal information such as user's identifiers and location information is transmitted through a mobile communication network. The importance of security technology is growing according to the characteristics of wireless mobile communication networks, the use of wireless shared channels is inevitable, and security technology cannot be applied to all network system elements in order to satisfy the bandwidth and speed requirements. In particular, for security threat analysis, researches are being conducted on various attack types and vulnerability analysis through rogue base stations or attacker UE to make user services impossible in the case of 5G networks. In this paper, we established a 5G network testbed using open sources. And we analyzed three security vulnerabilities related to NAS COUNT and confirmed the validity of two vulnerabilities based on the testbed or analyzing the 3GPP standard.

In this paper, a fast diagonal-weighted Jacket matrices (DWJMs) is proposed to have the orthogonal architecture. We develop the successive DWJM to reduce the computational load while factorizing the large-order DWJMs into the low-order sparse matrices with the fast algorithms. The proposed DWJM is then applied to the precoding multiple-input and multiple output (MIMO) wireless communications because of its diagonal-weighted framework with element-wise inverse characteristics. Based on the properties of the DWJM, the DWJM can be used as alternative open loop cyclic delay diversity (CDD) precoding, which has recently become part of the cellular communications systems. Performance of the DWJM-based precoding system is verified for orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) MIMO LTE systems.
