Intrusion detection for wireless local area network

Wireless intrusion detection systems are an important addition to the security of wireless local area networks (WLANs). We focus on intrusion detection and security consideration in wireless local area networks. We present intrusion detection for WLANs, give wireless intrusion detection systems and system architecture considerations. We also present a conceptual model for an IDS agent. IDS agents can cooperatively participate in global intrusion detection actions. These individual IDS agents collectively form the IDS system to protect the mobile wireless network. Meanwhile, we introduce some infrastructures as elements of wireless IDS for WLANs.
