Abstract

Fifth generation (5G) wireless network is a wireless communication standard technology, with substantially faster speeds, extremely low latency, and all-pervasive connectivity. The 5G wireless technology includes strong encryption and authentication systems, the possibility of supply chain threats, and network vulnerability. In this chapter, a brief review of complex environment for 5G networks and the security flaws in the novel technology ideas that 5G will incorporate is presented. Various security issues in Future Generations (XG), post-5G, cellular technology, and potential solutions to the security challenges are also discussed.

1. Introduction

Every generation of wireless transmission (WT) moves the technology closer to its goal of providing high-quality, dependable data communication, much like cable data communication. 5G represents a significant advancement in this regard, offering dense base station (BS) deployment with improved quality, incredibly low latency, and higher capacity, together with high coverage and very high 5G public-private collaboration estimates that around 7 trillion objects or devices would be connected and that with advanced privacy, the average service delivery time will drop from 90 hours to 90 minutes (A. Almusaylim & Jhanjhi, 2019). .

A technological growth in the field of network is presented in Table 1.
