METHOD AND NETWORK NODE DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE RUN OF TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC PUSH-BUTTON CONFIGURATION SESSIONS WITHIN A HETEROGENEOUS OR HOMOGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORK AND HETEROGENEOUS OR HOMOGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method and network node device control the run of technology specific Push-Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network as well as a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network detecting a session overlap within the network. The session is related to a configuration session (bootstrapping session, setup session) that establishes a security configuration for encrypted communication over a wireless link it is proposed an enhanced mechanism for controlling the run of technology specific Push Button Configuration sessions within a heterogeneous or homogeneous wireless network and a plurality of network node devices interconnected to each other via at least one interface and/or over multiple hops and authenticated or unauthenticated for the network by using a piece of information, e.g. a “Configuration Setup Session Identifier (CSSID),” for identifying a technology specific Push Button Configuration setup session.
