Telecommunication Mobile Network

Abstract

The exponential growth in utilisation of cell phones and advances in the world of technology raises concerns about the future of privacy and security issues due to advancement in the mobile technology. Increased popularity of smartphones and tablets caused an increase in the consumption of mobile date network. The exponential increase in mobile data usage poses risks such as: network congestion and descent in network quality to mobile network operators (MNOs). In order to reduce the threat, mobile network operators are utilising key data offloading technologies such as femtocell; to not only improve their network capacity but also to increase indoor cellular coverage.

Telecommunication mobile network: This paper will discuss the threat of increasing mobile network security issues due to advances in mobile technology. This paper will discuss the security issues not only because of increase in cellular data usage, and evolution of mobile networks, but also the threats originating because of use of femtocell.

Telecommunication mobile network: The paper will discuss the fundamental security aspects of cellular systems; confidentiality, authenticity, availability, interception, fraud,  Denial of Service (DOS), channel jamming, unauthorized access, message forgery, hijacking, eavesdropping and integrity. The goal of the study is twofold: first to investigate and expand in depth the security concerns surrounding telecommunication mobile network. Secondly, to research and identify security limitations of a femtocell network system and its architecture. Provide resourceful and mitigation methods to improve the network system. The aim of the study is to also analyse the strengths and… Read More
