The 5G MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) technology offers network and computing functionalities that allow application services to improve in terms of network delay, bandwidth, and security, by locating the application servers closer to the users at the edge nodes within the 5G network. To offer its interoperability within various networks and user equipment, standardization of the 5G MEC technology has been advanced in ETSI, 3GPP, and ITU-T, primarily for the MEC platform, transport support, and MEC federation. This article offers a brief review of the standardization activities for 5G MEC technology and the details about the system architecture and functionalities developed accordingly.

Recently, there have been the World Economic Forum's space economy guidelines, the International Telecommunication Union's regulations for each satellite orbit, the development of chips using satellite communication by global manufacturers and service providers, and the registration of key telecommunication businesses. Accordingly, trends in low-orbit 5G satellite communication services in Korea were investigated and analyzed, and the current situation in Korea was diagnosed. Korea's satellite communications accounts for 0.31% of all satellites when analyzed centering on countries with 20 or more satellites. Korea's communication satellite holdings are insufficient compared to 187 times that of the United States, 45 times that of Russia, and 18 times that of China. There is no link technology between 5G and LEO, and the cost of launch vehicles is high. In addition, it is judged that the ecosystem of equipment companies in the low-orbit 5G-NTN business model is insufficient.

Recently, competition among global mobile operators has focused on the commercialization of 5G for the first time. Apart from protecting the privacy of subscribers and the confidentiality and integrity of communication, protecting the network against various cyber attacks is also important to ensure that high-quality mobile services operate safely. In this study, we examine the security vulnerabilities with respect to mobile communication environments using previous and current LTEs. We also investigate whether existing vulnerabilities can be effectively protected and identify security issues that need to be considered in the approaching 5G environment.

유/무선 통신 시스템에서는 통신망마다 각각 다른 음성 부호화기를 사용하므로 음성신호는 두 번의 부/복호화 과정을 거치게 된다. 이로 인해 음질저하, 계산량 증가, 그리고 전달 지연 증가 등의 문제가 발생된다. 본 논문에서는 위의 문제점들을 개선하기 위하여 패킷 음성통신과 무선 이동 통신에 사용되는 음성 부호화기의 상호부호화를 위한 알고리듬을 제안한다 효율적인 음성 패킷 변환 방법을 제안하였으며, 8 kbps G.729A 패킷을 5.3 kbps G.723.1 패킷으로 변환하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 음성 패킷 변환 방법은 LSP 변환과정, 적응코드북 변환과정 그리고 고정 코드북 고속 탐색 과정으로 구성된다. 여러 가지 음성 신호로 모의 실험한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 상호부호화 알고리듬이 두 번의 부/복호화 과정을 거친 경우보다 짧은 전달 지연 시간과 적은 계산량으로 동등한 음질의 음성신호로 복호화함을 확인하였다.

In the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, the mobile services require 100 times faster connections. One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In NOMA, the users share the channel resources, so that the more users can be served simultaneously. There are several advantages offered by NOMA, such as higher spectrum efficiency and low transmission latency, compared to orthogonal multiple access (OMA), which is usually used in the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks, for example, long term evolution (LTE). In this paper, we compare the receivers for NOMA. The standard NOMA receiver, the non-SIC NOMA receiver, and the symmetric superposition coding (SC) NOMA receiver are compared. Specifically, it is shown that the performance of the standard receiver is the best, whereas the performances of the non-SIC receiver and symmetric SC receiver are dependent on the power allocation.

5G technology will be applied to various technologies related to game changers in the defense field. In addition, the establishment of a mobile work environment will be utilized. 5G has emerged as a new threat due to major technologies different from previous technologies. And due to 5G technology, there is an increasing demand to apply mobile technology to the defense sector. In this paper, we look at the security policy for defense 5G operation and the step-by-step construction plan consisting of three.

본 논문에서는 5G 이동통신에 적용하기 위한 동일대역 전이중방식 송수신기의 자기간섭제거 기술 동향에 대하여 분석하였다. 전이중방식 송수신기는 기존의 반이중방식 송수신시스템에 비하여 스펙트럼 효율성이 높고, 고속, 고용량의 데이터처리를 제공할 수 있기 때문에 5G 이동통신에서 사용될 송수신기 기술로 연구되고 있다. 전이중방식 송수신기에서 가장 문제가 되는 것은 동일주파수에서 송신과 수신이 이루어지면서 발생하는 자기간섭이며, 이를 해결하기 위한 자기간섭 격리 또는 제거기술이 안테나 및 채널, 아날로그 RF, 디지털 영역으로 구분되어 연구되고 있으며, 최근에는 시스템 측면에서 통신시스템의 성능을 확보하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기간섭제거기술의 정의 및 종류, 초기연구동향 그리고 최근 연구동향을 시스템측면과 요소기술측면에서 파악하여 전이중방식 송수신기를 위한 기본 연구를 통해 효율적인 설계를 위한 접근방법을 제시하고자 한다.

In the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, the interactive mobile game users have increased tremendously, which induces correlated information sources (CIS). One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In NOMA, the users share the channel resources, so that CIS affect each user's bit-error rate (BER) performance, which is not the case for orthogonal multiple access (OMA). In this paper, we derive the optimal receiver for NOMA with CIS, and then investigate the impact of CIS on each user's BER performance.

In this paper, we propose an efficient session management scheme for low-latency communications in 5G systems. The main idea of the proposed scheme is to prevent unnecessary reattempt signalling overhead when the session establishment for low-latency communications fails. Also, this method avoids network resource waste and battery drain of mobile devices. If a UE(User Equipment) fails to establish an Always-on PDU session for low-latency communications with the 5G systems because of network failure or resource unavailability, the proposed method prevents the UE's re-establishment of the Always-on PDU session by the specific information in the NAS(Non-Stratum) message from the 5G systems. Through simulation, we show that the proposed efficient session management scheme (ESMS) minimizes unnecessary signalling overhead and improves battery efficiency of mobile devices compared to existing legacy mechanism in 5G systems.
