An Open-RAN Testbed for Detecting and Mitigating Radio-Access Anomalies

Abstract: This paper presents the Open Radio Access Net-work (O-RAN) testbed for secure radio access. We discuss radio-originating attack detection and mitigation methods based on anomaly detection and how they can be implemented as specialized applications (xApps) in this testbed. We also pre-sent illustrating results of the methods applied in real-world scenarios and implementations.
