Benefits and Drawbacks of Combining ۵G with SDN Networks

This thesis examines the benefits and drawbacks of combining ۵G networks with Software-Defined Networking (SDN), a technological marriage. SDN's revolutionary potential to enhance ۵G networks' adaptability, efficacy, and scalability—all of which are critical for modern communication frameworks—makes this research significant. I contend that although combining SDN and ۵G can improve network administration and reduce operating costs, it also presents issues including security threats and deployment concerns. Using a thorough analysis, I highlight important findings about the benefits—such as centralized supervision and flexible traffic management—as well as the security and compatibility risks. I illustrate the practical effects of this integration by presenting case studies from a range of industries, highlighting the need for a well-rounded strategy that weighs the advantages against any potential drawbacks. In order to expedite the integration process, the conclusion recommends further investigation into cutting-edge security standards and standardization projects.
