Summary: Base stations refer to outdoor stations in smart cities that provide public services, such as power transmission stations, communication base stations, weather monitoring stations, and water quality monitoring stations. These stations are typically located outdoors and are susceptible to damage due to weather changes and material aging. Therefore, they require timely and periodic inspections. Unlike traditional IoT security, inspection services for these base stations face significant and unique security threats. The large number and widespread deployment of UAVs, especially with remote docker, resulting in a wide exposure surface for information security and making the service process vulnerable to attacks. Such vulnerabilities could lead to data leakage, including the unauthorized access to sensitive images of restricted areas, which poses significant security risks overall. This draft new Recommendation focuses on security requirements and capabilities for base station inspection (BSI) services using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It aims to enhance the information security protection when conducting BSI services using UAVs. By doing so, it aims to prevent information security incidents such as errors, malicious intrusions, and data tampering, thereby ensuring the overall security of base stations and maintaining the quality of public services in smart cities.
