Abstract

The efficiency of network attachment plays a crucial role in the performance of accessing services in new environments. As an example, when a moving network is changing its location relative to attachment points, the detection of the candidate access networks along with their properties and security relationships needs to be carefully managed. This paper presents the framework and mechanisms for network attachment of Ambient Networks. Different steps required for optimizing the network attachment procedure are studied, and a secure network attachment protocol is proposed.
