LOCATION-ENABLED SECURITY SERVICES IN WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method (300), an apparatus (100), and a computer program product for providing location enabled security services in a wireless network are disclosed. In the method, a network access request from a node requesting access to the wireless network is received (304). A probability level for a position for the requesting node is calculated (310) using position information claimed by the requesting node and position information about the requesting node derived from signal measurements for the requesting node received by at least one existing authorised node in the wireless network. Access for the requesting node to the wireless network is denied (314) if the probability level does not satisfy a specified threshold condition for network security (312). Access for the requesting node to the wireless network is granted (318) if the probability level does satisfy the specified threshold condition (312).
