A new security model to prevent denial-of-service attacks and violation of availability in wireless networks

Wireless networks are deployed in many critical areas, such as health care centers, hospitals, police departments, and airports. In these areas, communication through the networks plays a vital role, and real-time connectivity along with constant availability of the networks is highly important. How...
