An Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...

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...
متن کاملSecurity Vulnerabilities and Solutions in Mobile WiMAX
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 کاملValidating IEEE 802.16e Designs With The Mobile WiMAX MIMO Library
The IEEE 802.16e standard, often referred to as mobile WiMAX, specifies air interfaces for broadband wireless access (BWA) systems. The standard is expected to energize the BWA industry and open many opportunities to deploy systems in applications that were previously cost-prohibitive. Mobile WiMAX uses roaming and handoff to enable laptop and mobile phones to operate. High throughput is partic...
