Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as enablers for supporting many applications and services, such as precision agriculture, search and rescue, temporary network deployment or coverage extension, and security. UAVs are being considered for integration into emerging 5G networks as aerial users or network support nodes. We propose to leverage UAVs in 5G to assist in the prevention, detection, and recovery of attacks on 5G networks. Specifically, we consider jamming, spoofing, eavesdropping, and the corresponding mitigation mechanisms that are enabled by the versatility of UAVs. We introduce the hot zone, safe zone, and UAV-based secondary authorization entity, among others, to increase the resilience and confidentiality of 5G radio access networks and services. We present simulation results and discuss open issues and research directions, including the need for experimental evaluation and a research platform for prototyping and testing the proposed technologies.

无人机辅助的5G网络的攻击预防，检测和恢复

无人机正在成为支持许多应用和服务的推动力，例如精确农业，搜索和救援，临时网络部署或覆盖范围扩展以及安全性。正在考虑将无人机作为空中用户或网络支持节点集成到新兴的5G网络中。我们建议在5G中利用无人飞行器来协助预防，检测和恢复5G网络上的攻击。具体而言，我们考虑了无人机的多功能性所带来的干扰，欺骗，窃听和相应的缓解机制。我们引入了热点区域，安全区域和基于UAV的二级授权实体，以提高5G无线电接入网络和服务的弹性和机密性。我们提供模拟结果并讨论未解决的问题和研究方向，
