Abstract

Numerous devices are expected to upsurge profoundly in the proximate future with an estimated figure exceeding the 50 billion benchmark of connected devices by 2020. There are some rudimentary demands of the subscribers like system capacity, improved data rates with reduction in the latency and secure transmission of data in an unsecured media and to meet these demands, the cellular network has to go under suitable progression. As a building prospective for fulfilling these demands, to overcome the threats and challenges in the transmission of the data and to provide security to the information from the possible attacks, 5G is emerging as an optimal solution. For the demands of the tremendous count of subscribers, Device-to-Device Wireless Communication Network is an operative technology. The escalating content sharing amongst the users has been resulting in an exponential intensification in the wireless data traffic, coercing networks of cellular users to experience a suitable cataclysm. For allocating the resources to the Cellular Users under an attack scenario, numerous advances have been made till now. In this paper, an adaptive resource block allocation algorithm using HMM with beamforming approach has been projected to achieve high values of secrecy rate and low secrecy outage probability in 5G Wireless Communication Networks with the consideration of different applications demanded by Cellular Users and the priority of the applications (video, voice and data) in accord with enhanced Quality of Service of the channel. As the study of inherent secrecy rate for secure transmission of data in Wireless Communication Networks, random techniques are currently in great interest over the communication field. In this paper, it is to explore a multi-user scenario demanding different applications from BS under threat scenario of multi- eavesdropper. In this paper, different types of Beamforming are studied and different techniques involved for secure communication. An architecture has been provided for the security aspect in accordance with beamforming approach. As for better channel capacity, beamforming approach with diversity is an optimal solution for the secure transmission of information for Next Generation Networks.
