Results show that it can achieve the alleged authentication and key negotiation goals. Besides those alleged, further analyses indicate that the authentication access process can satisfy other security requirements, such as mutual identity authentication, mutual key control, key confirmation, message integrity check, etc. If the used elliptic curve encryption algorithm and the hash algorithm are secure enough, the protocol can efficiently realize mutual authentication between STAs (station) and APs (access point). Therefore, WAPI can be applied to replace the security mechanism used in the original WLAN international standard to enhance its security.展开更多

Based on the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, this paper proposed two schemes, the forward-packet-first (FPF) scheme based on the adaptive backoff contention window and multihop forward chain transmission by invitation (MFCTI) scheme.

To cut down on the influence generated by the WLAN handoff process, three parts of WLAN (wireless local area networks) handoff: handoff triggering, access point selection and the fast handoff algorithm are investigated. A fast handoff solution totally based on the station is proposed and it is composed of three parts: a handoff triggering mechanism based on dynamic threshold adjustment; an AP selection criterion based on probe delay; a fast handoff algorithm with differentiated channel selection and a dynamic cache. The station based solution is independent with AP's collaboration and avoids any changes in the IEEE 802. l l protocol. It is robust and has very good extensibility. Through tests and evaluation in a hotspot WLAN, the solution effectively reduces handoff latency and user experience of real-time applications is enhanced.展开更多

By the mean-field method, theoretical prediction of the degree distribution of the knowledge network is given, which is verified by Matlab simulations. When the new added node's local world size is very small, the degree distribution of the knowledge network approximately has the property of scale-free. When the new added node's local world size is not very small, the degree distribution transforms from pure power-law to the power-law with an exponential tailing. And the scale-free index increases as the number of new added edges decreases and the tunable parameters increase. Finally, comparisons of some knowledge indices in knowledge networks generated by the local world mechanism and the global mechanism are given. In the long run, compared with the global mechanism, the local world mechanism leads the average knowledge levels to slower growth and brings homogenous phenomena.展开更多
