Abstract

Data transmission in a high speed is the most requested by every internet user. Fortunately, the implementation of the fifth-generation (5G) cellular network was carried out by Verizon in 2019 to ameliorate and overcome some challenges of the 4G cellular networks. Software-defined networking (SDN) as a good networking prototype of the hour extremely welcomed the 5G to render the full performance of itself. Unluckily, the best integration of SDN and 5G is seriously being confronted the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks day in and day out. The goal of this paper is to analyse the DDoS attacks in the SDN-based 5G technology. Hence, a proposed VIS (Vulnerable-Infected-Secured) epidemic model is provided to investigate the security issues posed by DDoS attacks in SDN-based 5G. In this paper, the mathematical formulation for the epidemic VIS model was developed. The equilibria points, DDoS-free equilibrium, basic reproduction number and stabilities of DDoS-free equilibria were provided in MATLAB.
