The development of IEEE 802.16 was started by the IEEE in 2001. After that it was revised several times and ended in the final standard IEEE 802.16-2004 which corresponds to revision D and is often called Fixed WiMAX [1]. It defines Wireless Metropolitan Broadband access for stationary and nomadic use. This means end devices can not move between base stations (BS) but they can enter the network...

متن کاملA Review of Privacy and Key Management Protocol in IEEE 802.16e
WiMAX is the next generation technology that offers broadband wireless access over long distances. As WiMAX standards expand from considering a fixed line-of-sight propagation and point-to-multipoint infrastructure high frequency system to a lower frequency non-line-of-sight mobile system, WiMAX is open to more security threats than other wireless systems. This paper presents the different secu...
