Abstract Mobility support to change the connection from one access point (AP) to the next (i.e., handover) becomes one of the important issues in IEEE 802.11 wireless local area networks (WLANs). During handover, the channel scanning procedure, which aims to collect neighbor AP (NAP) information on all available channels, accounts for most of the delay time. To reduce the channel scanning procedure, a neighbor beacon frame transmission scheme (N-BTS) was proposed for a seamless handover. N-BTS can provide a seamless handover by removing the channel scanning procedure. However, N-BTS always requires operating overhead even if there are few mobile stations (MSs)… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the maturity and popularity of Wi-Fi technology, wireless hotspots have been deployed on a large scale in public places. But at the same time, it brings many security issues that cannot be ignored. Among them, the fake access point attack is a very serious threat in wireless local area network. In this paper, we propose a method to detect fake access points in wireless local area network. First, our detection method is passive, which means there is almost no additional traffic will be generated during the program’s operation. Second, different from many existing methods, our method… More >
