Abstract:
Use of Heterogeneous networks is essential to achieve the goal of 5G networks. In 5G LTE- Advanced HetNet, latency requirements make secure authentication and key establishment challenging. Dual Connectivity and Coordinated Multi Point are key technologies for LTE-Advanced HetNet. They require performing multiple authentications with low latency. We propose a scheme which uses software-defined networking architecture and creates a Merkle-Tree for fast authentication and key establishment. Furthermore, it can fulfill 5G latency requirements. We present a formal proof of logic correctness and performance analysis with existing schemes. Compared with existing methods our scheme can reduce communication, computation and energy cost.
