Abstract
A medium access control (MAC) frame provision method establishes security in an IEEE 802.15.4 network. A MAC frame is generated, which includes a MAC header, a payload field, and a frame check sequence (FCS) field, the payload field including relevant main data according to a frame type defined in the MAC header. A disguised decoy data sequence number (DSN) is generated and inserted into the MAC header. A real DSN, which is a corresponding transmission sequence number of the MAC frame, is generated and inserted into the payload field. The MAC frame is transmitted, including the encrypted payload field, to a counterpart node. A MAC ACK frame acknowledges reception of the transmitted MAC frame; and a DSN is compared in the received MAC ACK frame with the real DSN. An authentication of the counterpart node is performed when the received MAC ACK frame is equal to the real DSN.
