Abstract
Identification, authentication, and coverage control method implemented in a system including a central entity, a network of beacons, and a set of terminals, where each terminal is a device adhered to a beacon. The method includes defining a profile for each terminal, the profile including a coverage control service and a service connection authentication service, each service having an exclusive identifier. The coverage control service is connected when a beacon detects a device and the device is indentified as a terminal of the system. A service connection of the device is authenticated based on messages exchanged between the device and the beacon. If the authentication is positive, the device is allowed to adhere to the beacon and if the authentication is negative, the device is indentified as belonging to the system by not adhered to the beacon.
