Abstract
A method and a system for scheduling instances of prevention processes for inhibiting undesirable wireless communication of wireless devices is provided. The method includes identifying a wireless device based on a detected undesirable wireless communication. The method can initiate an instance of a prevention process directed to the wireless device so identified. The prevention process can include AP flooding, deauthentication and the like. Preferably, the instance of the prevention process can inhibit the wireless device for certain duration. The method includes setting an inhibited time interval. Preferably, the inhibited time interval is associated with the duration for which the wireless device is inhibited due to the instance of the prevention process. Moreover, the method can perform scanning for other undesirable wireless communication and/or access point functionality during at least a portion of the inhibited time interval.
