Despite the robust security features inherent in the 5G framework, attackers will still discover ways to disrupt 5G unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations and decrease UAV control communication performance in Air-to-Ground (A2G) links. Operating under the assumption that the 5G UAV communications infrastructure will never be entirely secure, we propose Deep Attention Recognition (DAtR) as a solution to identify attacks based on a small deep network embedded in authenticated UAVs. Our proposed solution uses two observable parameters: the Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) and the Reference Signal Received Power (RSSI) to recognize attacks under Line-of-Sight (LoS), Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS), and a probabilistic combination of the two conditions. In the tested scenarios, a number of attackers are located in random positions, while their power is varied in each simulation. Moreover, terrestrial users are included in the network to impose additional complexity on attack detection. To improve the systems overall performance in the attack scenarios, we propose complementing the deep network decision with two mechanisms based on data manipulation and majority voting techniques. We compare several performance parameters in our proposed Deep Network. For example, the impact of Long Short-Term-Memory (LSTM) and Attention layers in terms of their overall accuracy, the window size effect, and test the accuracy when only partial data is available in the training process. Finally, we benchmark our deep network with six widely used classifiers regarding classification accuracy. Our algorithms accuracy exceeds 4 eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) classifier in LoS condition and around 3 the short distance NLoS condition. Considering the proposed deep network, all other classifiers present lower accuracy than XGB.
