IEEE Future Networks Learning Series - 5G/6G 2024 Now & in the Future Edition
With preregistration and a nominal fee, CEU units are available for those who attend both tutorials including:
- IEEE Future Networks: Security Considerations for Mobile Edge Computing
- IEEE Future Networks: 5G NTN Takes Flight: 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Evolving Towards 6G
ABSTRACT 1. Security Considerations for Mobile Edge Computing
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is a technology framework that brings computational resources, including processing power, storage, and network connectivity, closer to mobile devices and users. In MEC, these resources are deployed at the edge of the cellular network, typically in close proximity to cell towers and base stations. This contrasts with traditional cloud computing, where data processing and s torage occur in centralized data centers that can be distant from the end-user.
Key aspects and features of MEC include Low Latency, Proximity, Resource Optimization, Scalability, Context Awareness and Security. Security measures are implemented at the edge to protect sensitive data and ensure the integrity of the network. This can include encryption, access control, and authentication mechanisms.
Applications and use cases of MEC are diverse and include AR/VR, IoT, Content Delivery, Connected Vehicles, Smart Grids. MEC is also a critical component in the evolution of 5G networks.
The tutorial provides a forum for researchers and engineers from academia and industry to develop a deep understanding of MEC Security. The participants would be exposed to wide and diverse topics in MEC Security, including existing and new attack surfaces and attack vectors along with their mitigation.
ABSTRACT 2. 5G NTN Takes Flight: 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks Evolving Towards 6G
From the beginning, 3GPPs vision of ubiquitous communication included the usage of satellite or airborne based network components.
Heading towards 6G we envision the contribution of NTN into the 6G system, IMT-2030 sets some clear requirements incorporating a non-terrestrial, unified network architecture from it’s inception. Release 17 considered as the start of NTN in 5G targets at enabling non-terrestrial network services. Later releases will enhance the NTN contribution and even if 6G may be an evolution and not a revolution, NTN will play a pivotal role from the advent of 6G.
This presentation will outline the technology evolution from the first NTN up to the anticipated technology evolutions on the path to 6G. The NTN technology starts with transparent mode architecture, incorporates regenerative mode and multi-connectivity mobility scenarios on a mid-term basis, and then looks towards long-term aspects like 3D unified and resilient networks, ultimately paving the way towards “beyond cellular” in a 6G network that includes NTN from its inception.
In addition we would like to present the evolution of Test and Measurement aspects and how T&M can ensure the successful operation and development of future NTN networks.
Tutorials originally presented at the 2023 IEEE Future Network World Forum held November 13-15, 2023 in Baltimore, Maryland USA.
