Description
Summary:Mobile multi-hop relay (MMR) WiMAX networks have attracted lots of interest in the wireless communication industry recently because of its scalable coverage, improved data rate and relatively low cost. However, security of MMR WiMAX relay network is a main challenge. I n this report, we proposed a TRUST scheme which protects the management message during transmission and it also provides verification of every component in the network. The scheme is implemented using a trust token and a share secret key. Analysis of the performance of the system will be conducted and we will compare the scheme with other researchers’ investment. All the theories are based on the IEEE 802.16m standard.
