Abstract
In recent years increase in wireless accessed devices does not prerequisite any evidence. Security
is the main concern for the researchers in 802.16e now-a-days. The layer structures defines that the
security sub-layer resides over the physical layer and provides security on the link layer.This paper
discusses the security threats present and still unsolved at the initial network entry stage. A mitigation
approach to counter Initial Ranging Based DoS attacks on IEEE 802.16-2009 are particularized in
this paper. Furthermore the existing solutions of initial ranging vulnerability are analyzed and their
limitations are discussed. Proposed solution was checked against these limitations to ensure their
absence. Moreover the solution was implemented in OMNET++ and results were analyzed to ensure
the practicality and efficiency.
