Abstract— Ultra-dense Heterogeneous network (HetNet) technique can significantly improve wireless link quality, spectrum
efficiency and system capacity, and satisfy different requirements for coverage in hotspots, which has been viewed as one of the key
technologies in fifth Generation (5G) network. Due to the existence of many different types of base stations (BSs) and the
complexity of the network topology in the 5G HetNets, there are a lot of new challenges in security and mobility management
aspects for this multi-tier 5G architecture including insecure access points and potential frequent handovers among several
different types of base stations. In this paper, we integrate user capability and Software Defined Network (SDN) technique, and
propose a capability-based privacy protection handover authentication mechanism in SDN-based 5G HetNets. Our proposed
scheme can achieve the mutual authentication and key agreement between User Equipments (UEs) and BSs in 5G HetNets at the
same time largely reduce the authentication handover cost. We demonstrate that our proposed scheme indeed can provide robust
security protection by employing several security analysis methods including the BAN logic and the formal verification tool
Scyther. In addition, the performance evaluation results show that our scheme outperforms other existing schemes.
