US12156036B2	Sub-network topology for cybersecure 5G and 6G communications Cybersecurity is a critical requirement for 5G-Advanced and 6G, in part due to the large attack surface represented by the exponentially increasing number of reduced-capability devices needing wireless service but intensely cost-constrained by their applications. Therefore, disclosed is a network topology that enables an unlimited number of basic sensor/actuator “end devices” to communicate, securely, with a user device of a managed 3GPP-compliant network.
