APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING STATION BY WIRELESS NETWORK IN WPA-PSK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for managing a station by a wireless network in a WPA-PSK environment. SOLUTION: In the management method, a registrar determines whether a new station is a guest station based on user input. If the new station is the guest station, the registrar includes a session key into an M8message in place of a shared key according to a WFA Simple Config protocol and transmits the M8message to the guest station. Accordingly, it is possible to permit the guest station to temporarily access the network without the user's management of information regarding the guest station. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
