Challenges are the inherent part of the new development; so, like all technologies, 5G has also big challenges to deal with. As we see past i.e. development of radio technology, we find very fast growth. Starting from 1G to 5G, the journey is merely of about 40 years old (Considering 1G in 1980s and 5G in 2020s). However, in this journey, the common challenges that we observed are lack of infrastructure, research methodology, and cost.
Challenges
Still, there are dozens of countries using 2G and 3G technologies and don’t know even about 4G, in such a condition, the most significant questions in everyone’s mind are −
  • How far will 5G be viable?
  • Will it be the technology of some of the developed countries or developing countries will also get benefit of this?
To understand these questions, the challenges of 5G are categorized into the following two headings −
  • Technological Challenges
  • Common Challenges

Technological Challenges

  • Inter-cell Interference − This is one of the major technological issues that need to be solved. There is variations in size of traditional macro cells and concurrent small cells that will lead to interference.
Technological Challenges
  • Efficient Medium Access Control − In a situation, where dense deployment of access points and user terminals are required, the user throughput will be low, latency will be high, and hotspots will not be competent to cellular technology to provide high throughput. It needs to be researched properly to optimize the technology.
  • Traffic Management − In comparison to the traditional human to human traffic in cellular networks, a great number of Machine to Machine (M2M) devices in a cell may cause serious system challenges i.e. radio access network (RAN) challenges, which will cause overload and congestion.

Common Challenges

  • Multiple Services − Unlike other radio signal services, 5G would have a huge task to offer services to heterogeneous networks, technologies, and devices operating in different geographic regions. So, the challenge is of standardization to provide dynamic, universal, user-centric, and data-rich wireless services to fulfil the high expectation of people.
Common Challenges
  • Infrastructure − Researchers are facing technological challenges of standardization and application of 5G services.
  • Communication, Navigation, & Sensing − These services largely depend upon the availability of radio spectrum, through which signals are transmitted. Though 5G technology has strong computational power to process the huge volume of data coming from different and distinct sources, but it needs larger infrastructure support.
  • Security and Privacy − This is one of the most important challenges that 5G needs to ensure the protection of personal data. 5G will have to define the uncertainties related to security threats including trust, privacy, cybersecurity, which are growing across the globe.
  • Legislation of Cyberlaw − Cybercrime and other fraud may also increase with the high speed and ubiquitous 5G technology. Therefore, legislation of the Cyberlaw is also an imperative issue, which largely is governmental and political (national as well as international issue) in nature.

The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is a firewall that runs on the Windows Server 2012 and is turned on by default. The Firewall settings within Windows Server 2012 are managed from within the  Windows Firewall Microsoft Management Console . To set Firewall settings perform the following steps − Step 1  − Click on the Server Manager from the task bar → Click the Tools menu and select Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Step 2  − To see the current configuration settings by selecting  Windows Firewall Properties  from the MMC. This  allows access to modify the settings  for each of the three firewall profiles, which are –  Domain, Private and Public  and IPsec settings. Step 3  − Applying custom rules, which will include the following two steps − Select either  Inbound Rules  or  Outbound Rules  under  Windows Firewall with Advanced Security  on the left side of the management console...
In this chapter, we will see how to enable remote desktop application. It is important because this enables us to work remotely on the server. To do this, we have the following two options. For the first option, we have to follow the steps given below. Step 1  − Go to Start → right click “This PC” → Properties. Step 2  − On Left side click “Remote Setting”. Step 3  − Check radio button “Allow Remote connection to this computer” and Check box “Allow connection only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended)” → click “Select Users”. Step 4  − Click Add. Step 5  − Type user that you want to allow access. In my case, it is administrator → click OK. For the  second option , we need to follow the steps given below. Step 1  − Click on “Server Manage” → Local Server → click on “Enable” or Disable, if it is Disabled.
In this chapter, we will see how to configure WSUS and tune it. The following steps should be followed for configuring it. Step 1  − When you open it for the first time, you should do it by going to “Server Manager” → Tools → Windows Server Update Services, then a Configuration wizard will be opened and then click → Next. Step 2  − Click “Start Connecting” → Wait until the green bar is full and then → Next. Step 3  − Check the box for which the updates want to be taken, I did for English and then → Next. Step 4  − Check the box for all the products which you want to update. It is just for Microsoft products and it is recommended to include all the products related to Microsoft and then → Next. Step 5  − Choose the classification updated to be downloaded, if you have a very good internet speed, then check all the boxes, otherwise just check “Critical Updates”. Step 6  − Now we should schedule the updates which I will recommend to do it a...
