An Approach Used In Wireless Network to Detect Denial of Service Attack

Abstract

The shared behavior of wireless network makes it more vulnerable to Denial of Service attack. A Denial of Service (DOS) attack is a planned attempt to make resources unable to the legitimate client. These attacks can easily launch by perpetrator emitting no. of signals that do not follow MAC protocol. A DOS attacks are the significant cause of data corruption and malfunctioning of a wireless network. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to detect denial of service attack in wireless, which not only detect attack, but also differentiate it from the natural condition occur in a network. The proposed method uses different network factor and statistical method to calculate threshold value.
