AR Based Half-Duplex Attack in Beyond 5G networks
share
With the evolution of WCN (Wireless communication networks), the absolute fulfillment of security occupies the fundamental concern. In view of security, we have identified another research direction based on the attenuation impact of rain in WCN. An approach is initiated by an eavesdropper in which a secure communication environment is degraded by generating Artificial Rain (AR), which creates an abatement in the secrecy rate, and the cybersecurity gets compromised. By doing so, an attacking scenario is perceived, in which an intruder models a Half-Duplex (HD) attack. Half-Duplex specifies the attack on the downlink instead of targeting both uplink and downlink. This allows the attacker to alleviate the miss-rate of the attacking attempts. The layout for the HD attack is explained using RRC (Radio Resource Control)-setup. Further, we have determined and examined the performance parameters such as secrecy rate, energy efficiency, miss-rate, sensitivity in the presence of AR. Further comparison of rural and urban scenarios in the presence and absence of AR is carried out concerning the variation in secrecy rate with respect to the millimeter-wave frequencies and distance. Lastly, the methodology of the HD attack is simulated, revealing that the HD attack maintains a low miss rate with improved performance as compared to the performance and miss-rate attained by the full-duplex attack
