Abstract
Following the fast development of 5G networks and Internet of Things (IoT) techniques, in the future, billions of User Equipment (UE) and IoT devices will connect to networks and send data to backend servers for situation monitoring or required processes. Since mobile devices roam to everywhere in the world, firewalls which are designed to protect fixed-position devices cannot be used to secure mobile users. In this study, we would like to use firewall to protect mobile devices, even though they are roaming in the networks other than their home networks. UEs are secured in data layer with firewalls, distributed topology storage (DT storage) and SDN controller, in which firewalls are installed in the vEPC’s edge computers. We also develop the corresponding processing algorithms.
