Abstract

It is expected that the creation of next-generation wireless networks would result in the availability of high-speed and low-latency connectivity for every part of our life. As a result, it is important that the network is secure. The network's security environment has grown more complicated as a result of the growing number of devices and the diversity of services that 5G will provide. This is why it is important that the development of effective security solutions is carried out early. Our findings of this review have revealed the various directions that will be pursued in the development of next-generation wireless networks. Some of these include the use of Artificial Intelligence and Software Defined Mobile Networks. The threat environment for 5G networks, security weaknesses in the new technology paradigms that 5G will embrace, and provided solutions presented in the key studies in the field of 5G cyber security are all described in this systematic literature review for prospective researchers. Future research directions to protect wireless networks beyond 5G are also covered.
