With the introduction of the 5th generation of wireless systems and communications (5G) comes new risks and challenges. This paper explores the potential security challenges of 5G communication compared with legacy cellular networks and prior generations of communication standards. This paper defines what 5G is and how it affects our lives on a daily basis. It further discusses the new security features involving different technologies applied to 5G, such as heterogeneous networks, device-to-device communications, massive multiple-input multiple-output, software-defined networks, and the internet of things, including autonomous cars, healthcare, automated manufacturing, and more.

We consider a multidevice network with asymmetric antenna configurations which supports not only communications between an access point and devices but also device-to-device (D2D) communications for the Internet of things. For the network, we propose the transmit and receive beamforming with the channel state information (CSI) for virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) enabled by D2D receive cooperation. We analyze the sum rate achieved by a device pair in the proposed method and identify the strategies to improve the sum rate of the device pair. We next present a distributed algorithm and its equivalent algorithm for device pairing to maximize the throughput of the multidevice network. Simulation results confirm the advantages of the transmit CSI and D2D cooperation as well as the validity of the distributive algorithm.

<p>The massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has been applied innew generation wireless systems due to growing demand for reliability and high datarate. Hybrid beamforming architectures in both receiver and transmitter, includinganalog and digital precoders, play a significant role in 5G communication networksand have recently attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we propose a simple andeffective beamforming precoder approach for mmWave massive MIMO systems. Wefirst solve an optimization problem by a simplification subject, and in the second step,we use the covariance channel matrixfCk=Cov(Hk)andBk=HkHHkinstead of chan-nel matrixHk. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can enjoy a highersum rate and energy efficiency than previous methods such as spatially sparse method,analog method, and conventional hybrid method even with inaccurate Channel StateInformation (CSI). Percentage difference of the achievable rate ofCk=Cov(Hk)andBk=HkHHkschemes compared to conventional methods are 2.51% and 48.94%, re-spectively.</p>
