Summary

• What is new: A secure and efficient group handover protocol for LEO satellite constellations in 5G networks.
• Why this is important: The high mobility of LEO satellites causes signaling storms and security compromises during 5G handovers.
• What the research proposes: A new handover protocol that mitigates signaling storms and enhances security.
• Results: The proposed protocol outperforms the baseline 5G handover scheme in efficiency and security as shown in simulations.
