It is based on IEEE802.16 family and provides the network service with large coverage, high data rate and mobility. Since IEEE802.16 series are connection-based wireless technologies, WiMAX is exposed to a special kind of DoS attacks which can target a specific victim connection without influencing the others. This paper will introduce this scrambling attack in WiMAX networks in detail and will provide a prevention approach. © 2009 IEEE.[SDGs]SDG16DoS attacks; High data rate; IEEE802.16; Network services; Telecommunication technologies; WiMAX networks; Wireless technologies; Computer crime; Interoperability; Wimax; Wireless networksconference paper10.1109/WOWMOM.2009.52824822-s2.0-74349102157
