IEEE 802.11 wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) becomes very prevalent nowadays. Either as a simple range
extender for a home wired Ethernet interface, or as a wireless deployment throughout an enterprise, WLAN provides
mobility, convenience, and low cost. However, an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network uses the frequency of unlicensed 2.4GHz,
which makes the network unsafe and more vulnerable than traditional Ethernet networks. As a result, anyone who is familiar
with wireless network may initiate a Denial of Service (DoS) attack to influence the common communication of the network or
even make it crash. In this paper, we present our studies on the DoS attacks and mitigation strategies for IEEE 802.11b/g
WLANs and describe some initial implementations using IEEE 802.11b/g wireless devices.
