used for evaluating answers for getting some problems (dampers, hot and cold equipment areas)
and also the materials that can be switched off [9]. These buildings are very much responsible for
releasing the forty percent of the CHG in the entire world. These can be very much ineffective in
nature. The different companies can appoint huge number engineers for latest technologies as
well as methods to decrease the intake of the energy by those respective buildings [10]. They are
able to achieve the success for generating different kinds of update in this particular field. 5G can
be a good option regarding this matter. With the speed of 5G technology the smart phone
industry can increase their business rapidly [11]. Car can wired to connect to the handheld

5WIRELESS NETWORK AND SECURITY
devices by using the Bluetooth and this kind of technology that can be progressed that can be
introduced in the faster manner. The industry of the mobile phone can integrate themselves with
the cable companies to offer outstanding services in the era of 5G network.
Comparison between cellular networks
1G technology started its journey in the year 1970. The 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G technology
started its journey in the years 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010. The bandwidth of the 1G technology is 2
kilo bytes per second. The bandwidth of the 2G technology is 14.4-64 kilo bytes per seconds
whereas the bandwidth of the 3G, 4G and 5G technology include two megabytes per second, two
hundred megabytes per second and also the one giga bytes per seconds [12]. The standards that
is used for the 1G technology is AMPS. This can be referred to as the standards for the analog
signal of the different kinds of the cellular technology in the United States of America. it can be
used to the services of the other countries. It is actually the starting of the radiation of the
electromagnetic rays by the Federal Communication of Commission in the year 1970. The 2G
technology uses TDMA and also CDMA. TDMA is a procedure of accessing different kinds of
channel for the networks that are shared in nature. It allows separate consumers to share the
similar kind of the frequency of the signals into different time slices [10]. Code division
multiplexing is a kind of technology of the multiplexing for different kinds of signals to achieve
the single channel of transmission. The 2.5G technology uses the technologies that include
GPRS, EDGE and 1xRTT. The 3G technology is used by the different kinds of popular
technologies that include CDMA as well as WCDMA [9]. The 4G technology uses the single
unified standard of cellular technology. The 4G use the LTE, WiMax as well UMB but the others
are not able to use this kind of technologies. 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G technologies are not able to
implement this kind of technologies but the 5G technology can implement this kind of

6WIRELESS NETWORK AND SECURITY
technology. 3G technology has the network architecture that has large area of cells. But 4G and
5G technology uses the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi [8]. The 1G and 2G do not use any kind of
switching mechanism. The 3G technology uses the packet as well as the circuit switching
mechanism. The 4G and 5G technology uses every type of digitized packets. The 1G, 2G
technology did not use much in the area of IP technology [5]. The 3G technology can able to use
a huge number of air link protocols includes the version IP 5.0. 4G and 5G technology are able to
use all kinds of IP especially the IPv6. The 3G technology uses different kinds of design of the
antenna and also the adapters having more than one band. 4G technologies uses smart antennas,
radio signal of the wideband as well as software having more than one band. The 5G
technologies are also able to use this kind of technologies. But 1G, 2G technologies are not able
to use this kind of technology. The handoff that is applicable to 1G and 2G are respectively
horizontal in nature. In case 3G technology the handoff is horizontal [1]. In case of 4G and 5G it
will be vertical as well as horizontal in nature.
Architecture of 5G technology
The service domain of the 5G architecture is very much efficient as well as flexible in
nature to achieve the necessity of the service of handheld devices. With the help of the
networking devices that is operated by software and also the functions of the virtualization of
network that can support the physical infrastructure of the 5G technology for accessing the cloud
services, transport as well as the core networks [2]. It will give the good support for the 5G
services that can provide the important technology for enterprise to enterprise segregation of the
networks. It also gives the functions that are related to the component. The 5G system of the
main user for the terminal and also the number of not dependent as well as automatic access for
different kinds of technology [1]. Every technologies related to this is told as the link of the IP

7WIRELESS NETWORK AND SECURITY
for the outside world. The IP technology is used to develop the proper control of data for doing
the routing of the packets related to the IP for certain kind of application. To make the routing
services accessible, the routing of packets should be very much static with respect to declared
rules to the consumer. The 5G master core is the point of integration with other technology [2].
Theses have its own network to the available wireless network. With this technology, it can able
to control the RAN as well as Different Access Networks. This technology is very much familiar
with entire brand new developments. It is very efficient as well as less strong. Any service can be
introduced in the 5G technology in the category of World Combination Service Mode. It is an
amazing characteristic of this technology [3]. If a person writes regarding some topic in the white
board in certain country then it can be visible to the other part of the globe by using the video.
An innovative service can be integrated to this technology by using the service named as the
parallel multimode.
Different types of 5G attacks
The various attacks related to the 5G wireless networks are DDoS and black hat attack [5]. The
DDoS attack is a kind of attack when multiple networks are congested with various types of
bandwidth of a pre-defined network that is related to the handheld devices. This type of attack is
responsible for the system that is responsible for handling a huge amount of traffic [6]. It
depends on the hardware of the handheld devices. It will give a huge space in the bandwidth of
the handheld devices [8]. Black hat hackers can able to hack networks of the mobile devices
avoiding different kinds of protocols related to the security. The basic motivation of this kind of
attack is become financially powerful [7]. It is performed to get different kinds of sensitive
information that is related to the networks of the handheld devices.
