Authentication
The process to verify the identity of a client requesting network
access. IEEE 802.11 specifies two forms of authentication:
open system and shared key.
BS
Base Station
Channel Allocation
CAPL scan list is defined by the customer provisioned list.
Priority Level (CAPL)
There are some parameters with CAPL scan: NAPID, priority
and RefID.
NAPID is used to filter some BS if the NAPID is not matched.
Priority is the customer defined priority scan order. Higher
priority will be scanned first.
RefID is a result of mapping from IDs into a scan list from the
channel plan.
Extensible Authentication
An authentication protocol used to authenticate network
Protocol (EAP)
clients. EAP is combined with IEEE 802.1X port authentication
and a RADIUS authentication server to provide “mutual
authentication” between a client, the access point, and the a
RADIUS server.
EAP-Transport Layer
A cryptographic protocol that provides secure communications
Security (EAP-TLS)
on the Internet for web browsing, e-mail, Internet faxing,
instant messaging and other data transfers.
EAP-Tunneled Transport
An EAP protocol that extends TLS.
Layer Security (EAP-TTLS)
Handover
The WiMAX Handover mechanism was defined to maintain
uninterrupted user communication session during their
movement from one location to another.
IEEE 802.16e
A standard that provides mobile broadband wireless access
using Scalable Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(SOFDMA).
MSCHAPV2 (MS-CHAP. v2)
Microsoft version of the Challenge-handshake authentication
protocol, version 2. MS-CHAPv2 provides mutual
authentication between peers by adding a peer challenge upon
the Response packet and an authenticator response on the
Success packet.
