摘要：Many small businesses and public areas offer free Wi-Fi access, but may wish to restrict network access only to their customers or patrons inside the physical property. Unfortunately, due to the nature of wireless networks, this is difficult to accomplish. We develop and implement CLAC, a Crowdsourced Location aware Access Control scheme using physical layer information to address this challenge. It crowdsources both channel state information (CSI) and received signal strength (RSS) of already validated users to classify future users. We propose and use two CSI metrics in CLAC: CSI Cross-Antenna Stability Metric and CSI Cross-Frame Stability Metric, which summarize well the spatial and temporal CSI characteristics respectively. CLAC is evaluated in an office and a classroom. Evaluation results show that CLAC performs well in both environments, allowing most valid users inside the area to access the network, while the chance that invalid users outside the boundary may access the network is small.
