Abstract
WiBro has advantages when both WLAN and 3G UMTS are adopted. Much research is being carried out in this area. However, the WiBro specification does not consider end-to-end security. Hence, another security protocol has to be adopted to support secure communication. Most previous research only focused on WiBro MAC performance improvement or security. In this paper, we adopt a security protocol such as IPsec, TLS, and DTLS, well known end-to-end security protocols, to make full use of WiBro in the IP network. Using NS-2 we simulated the adoption of end-to-end security protocol and evaluated performance and usability. Simulation shows DTLS had some performance advantages. All the protocols, TLS and IPsec are also suitable for use in WiBro.
