It is facinating how complex 4G networks are, compared to SS7 powered networks. It's like Boeing 747 compared to the ww2 war planes. Obviously, you have more vulnerabilities on the larger attack surface.

The complex is more on the IMS side. Everything else in 4G is a bit simpler. Fewer and less arcane protocols, a bit fewer nodes.
