Abstract

This study aims to implement and evaluate an Open Source-based 5G Standalone (SA) network using Open5GS as the Core Network, srsRAN as the Radio Access Network (RAN), and USRP B210 as a Software Defined Radio (SDR) device. A commercial smartphone was used as the User Equipment (UE) to test end-to-end network connectivity and performance. The research method includes software installation, network parameter configuration, system integration, as well as connectivity and performance testing based on ITU-R IMT-2020 standards. The test results show that all network elements were successfully integrated, as indicated by the successful registration and authentication of the UE and the establishment of a data session. Performance testing recorded a downlink throughput of 55 Mbps, uplink throughput of 15 Mbps, latency of 33 ms, jitter of 8.9 ms, and 0% packet loss. Although some performance parameters did not meet the minimum ITU-R IMT-2020 standards, the system proved operable as an independent Open Source and SDR-based solution for experimental purposes in a laboratory environment. Future work should focus on optimizing the backhaul connection, conducting multi-UE testing, and simulating mobility and handover scenarios to assess system performance in large-scale and real-world deployments.

Abstract

The architecture of standalone 5G networks offers improved communication performance, but its authentication procedures remain vulnerable to eavesdropping threats. This research evaluates the system’s vulnerability to Man-in-the-Middle attacks and proposes comprehensive mitigation methods to address these security issues. Relying on Open5GS as the core network and UERANSIM as a simulator for base stations and user devices, testing was conducted in a virtualized environment. The methods used include traffic manipulation at the N2 interface to trigger desynchronization of the sequence number in the 5G-AKA authentication procedure. Experimental results show that packet interception successfully caused sequence number desynchronization, which directly led to authentication failure and device isolation due to Denial of Service. Additionally, network monitoring revealed that the HTTP/2 protocol displays customer data in plain text. In conclusion, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption has proven effective as a mitigation method. With this integration, internal communication channels have been converted to a fully encrypted HTTPS format, preventing eavesdropping attempts. Furthermore, customer cryptographic parameters remain protected while keeping the operational overhead below acceptable limits.
