Patterns for WiMax security

چکیده
WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability of Microwave Access), also known as the IEEE 802.16 protocol is the latest standard for wireless networks. Its purpose is to expand the range of wireless systems access. We present here two patterns for this standard: WiMax Network Architecture, which describes the structural and dynamic aspects of these networks which are relevant for security and WiMax Security, which describes its main security features.
