Abstract :
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 new authentication protocol using proxy base station to counter the denial of service attack in WiMAX enabled systems.
