ABSTRACT

Each generation has its unique needs and aspirations. With the major wireless service providers planning to start deployment of 4G wireless networks by mid 2010, research and industry communities are racing against time to find solutions for some of the prominent still open issues in 4G networks. A number of new security threats to cause unexpected service interruption and disclosure of information will be possible in 4G due mainly to the fact that 4G is an IP-based, heterogeneous network. This paper describes some importance of 4G technology and their security and future challenges with some proposed solutions.

Keywords: Wireless network security, Security architecture, 4G, WiMAX, QoS.
