The security mechanism of IEEE 802.16 standard is analyzed,its security weakness and the improvements in the latest standard are also pointed out.Based on the analysis of the security mechanism,software architecture of 802.16d standard security system is proposed and its security protocol stack is implemented in the form of loadable kernel module of Linux.Performance and compatibility test of the software implementation are performed by simulating MAC and PHY layer,and the results indicate that the system can fully satisfy the design objectives of IEEE 802.16d standard.
