Handover Authentication Scheme for Device-to-Device Outband Communication in 5G-WLAN Next Generation Heterogeneous Networks.

The idea of future generation 5G-WLAN heterogeneous network communication lies in increasing multiple fold increase in base station capability, higher data rate up to order of Gbps, vital enhancement in clients’ observed quality of experience, and ultra low latency as compared to the modern day 4G LTE-WLAN heterogeneous networks. Heterogeneous deployment of small and macrocells is considered as a primary network configuration in 5G-WLAN networks. It is vital to accomplish consistent handovers between a small cell base station and a mobile device under the device-to-device (D2D) outband relaying communication with cellular operator-controlled link establishment scenario. A handover from a small cell base station to a new mobile device under D2D communication demands complex methodology for a cellular operator-controlled link establishment scenario, which increases the system complexity. The mobile devices with two unique interfaces (5G network and Wi-Fi) can simultaneously access the 5G network and provide the Internet services to a client. Here, we present a quick and safe handover authentication scheme to suit in D2D outband-controlled communication mobility situations in the 5G-WLAN heterogeneous networks. Compared to other handover schemes, our scheme not only accomplishes a re-authentication procedure with attractive proficiency, but also provides numerous security features, user anonymity, mutual authentication, and perfect backward/forward secrecy. The security and performance analysis demonstrate that the presented scheme is proficient and secured against many kinds of attacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
