Abstract
A wireless communication process can include obtaining a wireless communication message associated with a source identifier (ID); determining that the source ID is associated with a flooding attack. The process can include filtering, based on determining that the source ID is associated with a flooding attack, wireless communication messages associated with the source ID. Filtering the wireless communication messages includes alternating between a first filtering state and a second filtering state. The first filtering state and the second filtering state are associated with different amounts of filtering.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
- obtaining a wireless communication message associated with a source identifier (ID);
- determining that the source ID is associated with a flooding attack;
- and
- filtering, based on determining that the source ID is associated with a flooding attack, wireless communication messages associated with the source ID, wherein filtering the wireless communication messages comprises alternating between a first filtering state and a second filtering state, wherein the first filtering state and the second filtering state are associated with different amounts of filtering, wherein the first filtering state comprises enabling filtering for a first portion of the first filtering state, disabling filtering for a second portion of the first filtering state, and enabling filtering for a third portion of the first filtering state, wherein the second portion of the first filtering state occurs between the first portion of the first filtering state and the third portion of the first filtering state.
An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
- obtain a wireless communication message associated with a source ID;
- determine the source ID is associated with a flooding attack;
- and
- filter, based on determining that the source ID is associated with a flooding attack, wireless communication messages associated with the source ID, wherein filtering the wireless communication messages comprises alternating between a first filtering state and a second filtering state, wherein the first filtering state and the second filtering state are associated with different amounts of filtering, wherein the first filtering state comprises enabling filtering for a first portion of the first filtering state, disabling filtering for a second portion of the first filtering state, and enabling filtering for a third portion of the first filtering state, wherein the second portion of the first filtering state occurs between the first portion of the first filtering state and the third portion of the first filtering state.
