Rogue-Base Station Detection in WiMax/802.16 Wireless Access Networks
Overview This paper addresses to problem of detecting a rogue Base Station (BS) in WiMax/802.16 wireless access networks. A rogue BS is a malicious station that impersonates a legitimate Access Point (AP). The rogue BS attack represents a major denial-of-service threat against wireless networks. This approach is based on the observation that inconsistencies in the signal strength reports received by the Mobile Stations (MSs) can be seen if a rogue BS is present in a network. These reports can be assessed by the legitimate base stations, for instance, when a mobile station undertakes a handover towards another BS. Novel algorithms for detecting violations of received signal strength reports consistency are described in this paper.
