"The Role of Drones in 5G Network Security"

5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology expected to offer faster speeds, lower latency, increased bandwidth, and other benefits. However, the advancements provided by 5G will be accompanied by new security challenges. Giovanni Geraci, a researcher with the Pompeu Fabra University's (UPF) Department of Information and Communication Technologies, along with researchers at Mississippi State University (MSU), conducted a study on the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to improve the security of 5G networks against attacks involving eavesdropping, interference, and identify theft. Their study shows how the diversity and 3D mobility of UAVs can be used to strengthen the security of advanced wireless networks against such attacks through prevention, detection, and recovery. This article continues to discuss the introduction of 5G networks, the support provided by UAVs, and the study on how UAVs can be used to improve the security of these networks.
