Method and system for wireless communications characterized by IEEE 802.11W and related protocols

摘要

A method for protecting wireless communications from denial of service attacks is provided. The method comprises establishing a first wireless connection between an access point device and a client device. The method also comprises receiving at the access point device a request for establishing a second wireless connection between the access point device and the client device while a state of the first wireless connection being an established state at an access point device side endpoint. The method comprises determining whether the request for establishing the second wireless connection is effectual to drive connection states at the access point device side endpoint and at the client device side endpoint in a condition of deadlock if the access point device side endpoint for the first wireless connection is indeed terminated upon receiving the request for establishing the second wireless connection.
