Current cellular architecture will not be suitable for 5G because it will not scale to the anticipated number of connected endpoints and their rich diversity. The distribution of the previously centralized Core Network (CN) functionality, e.g., Access Authentication and Authorization, has to be decentralized, leading to the demise of the most utilized tool of network security engineering, Physical Security Perimeter. The asserted and attested Platform Integrity of the network nodes that comprise the edges of the network, the network cloud, “network fog”, and the endpoints will allow mobile network operators (MNOs) to create Virtual Network Perimeters and allow highly reliable, diverse, and flexible 5G networks. This article describes the reasons for such network transformation, provides references to applicable standardization activities, and uses the examples of support for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and connected automobiles by 5G networks to justify the need for Platform Integrity.

Non-3GPP Access technologies such as WLAN technologies can be connected to the 3GPP core network like EPC (Evolved Packet Core) in various ways based on the operator's business models and architectural preferences. The desire to provide this access to the 5G core network, currently defined in 3GPP, requires the design of new protocols and procedures in order to fulfill all requirements. This paper describes the current status of the specification in Release 15 of the untrusted non-3GPP access where the mobile operator does not trust the access point and tunnels all traffic to a trusted gateway in the mobile network. Further, the paper provides an outlook of the new Release 16 feature for trusted non-3GPP access, i.e. the mobile operator trusts the access point, as well as the feature for 5G core network access from WLAN devices with 3GPP credentials that do not support the Non Access Stratum protocol.

Emerging Technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain and 5G communications are innovation accelerators creating new products, processes and industries by disrupting the Information Communication Technologies status quo. International Standards Development Organisations (SDOs) and Standard Setting Organisations (SSOs) develop and evolve consensus documents of the state of the art and publish these international agreements as Standards. In this document the authors present uses cases where some of these emerging technologies can contribute significantly to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

If you ask anybody what is the name of the card inside his mobile phone, he will for sure answer SIM card, without knowing it is an acronym for Subscriber Identity Module. But, what about the USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module)? The USIM plays a key role in the mobile telecommunication services since it brings a host of fundamental features that are now perfected for 5G. This paper gives an overview of the new functionalities offered by the USIM in 5G system including new authentication schemes, subscriber privacy, Steering of Roaming, UE Parameters Update over NAS, and Long Term Key Update Procedure.

Knowing the load of a transport system is one of the critical information of the operators and allows them to take strategic moves to optimize the line, involving more buses or changing the missions of the buses. Having this information in real-time and in the near future opens a new dimension in the management possibilities of the line. The paper describes a prototype that demonstrates this possibility and exposes the methodology used and some examples of the results. The study here presented was possible thanks to a new kind of data: the counting of passengers boarding and dropping out at each stop provide by sensors installed above the doors.

The next generation of mobile networks (5G) aims to revolutionize the world of communication. New technologies and use cases spawn new oppor-tunities. Many of the promised performance characteristics of 5G require that terrestrial networks are augmented by communication satellites. This paper describes where an integration of satellite and 5G will benefit both technologies.

MegaMan is an ongoing research project (2017–2019) investigating the possibility of reusing 3GPP 5G management interfaces for satellite mega-constellations. During the coming decade, a large number of mega-constellations are expected be launched for providing global internet, loT, or special services e.g. for military or maritime purposes. With a huge volume of network elements (the satellites) and subscribers, the satellite constellation operators will find themselves in a similar situation as the early GSM operators in the 1990s when no standardised management system interfaces were available. Through the MegaMan project we want to lower integration overheads and enable commercial-off-the-shelf management solutions for mega-constellations. This article presents a series of experiments conducted in the first half of the project to apply 5G Management Function services on live satellite and simulated constellations.

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and its blockchain subclass are emerging as a disruptive innovation with an expanding range of potential applications. While DLT systems promise significant benefits to participants and diverse industries, their use of cryptography and incentive models to displace intermediaries and central authorities present significant challenges to conventional models of institutionally-oriented governance. This is due to the disintermediation of such governance bodies displacing the accountabilities and decision rights such parties typically provide. This paper addresses the emerging research question of how standards can address the assurances lost by the displacement of conventional institutional governance mechanisms in DLT systems.
