Abstract:
Techniques which prevent rogue devices from continued access to a wireless communication system. A control element directs access points as to which mobile stations to service. Each access point maintains a record of the mobile stations it is servicing. At the direction of the control element, one or more access points send ACK (acknowledgement) messages when hearing messages from a rogue device. When the rogue device sends a message, it expects an ACK message in response, but those additional ACK messages interfere with the responsive ACK message, causing the rogue device to never hear the responsive ACK message. The rogue device assumes its message was not received, so it retries sending of that message. When the rogue device retries sending of its message, the responsive ACK message is similarly interfered with, until the rogue device concludes that its connection has been lost.

Claim (Index 12):
A computer-implemented method in a control element responsible for a plurality of access points in a wireless communication network, the method for controlling rogue devices and including the steps of:\n identifying a rogue device by the control element, comprising:\n receiving a notification from an access point of the plurality of access points, of a detected frame associated with a BSSID (basic service set identifiers); \n determining that the frame is directed to a BSSID that is not associated with the plurality of access points, and \n identifying the BSSID as being associated with a rogue device; and \n blocking the rogue device by the access point as directed by the control element, comprising:\n directing at least two access points of the plurality of access points to each send an ACK (acknowledgment) frame in response to the received frame sent by the rogue device, to interfere with an ACK frame sent to the rogue device from an unauthorized access point.
