Adversarial ML in 5G Networks (Research)

Overview

A research study on the adversarial risks of using AI/ML for 5G network automation. The work covers supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement-learning attack surfaces through three case studies, proposes mitigation approaches, and offers guidelines for evaluating ML model robustness in 5G contexts. Published in IEEE Internet Computing 2021. Outcome: Peer-reviewed publication that provides the 5G research community with a structured view of adversarial ML risks and mitigation strategies.
