Abstract
This paper presents the development and implementation of a location‐based, lightweight peer‐assisted authentication scheme for use in wireless networks. The notion of peer‐assisted authentication is based upon some target user equipment‐ (UE) seeking authentication and access to a network based upon its physical location. The target UE seeks authentication through the UE of peers in the same network. Compared with previous work, the approach in this paper does not rely on any cryptographic proofs from a central authentication infrastructure, thus avoiding complex infrastructure management. However, the peer‐assisted authentication consumes network channel resources which will impact on network performance. In this paper, we also present an access control algorithm for balancing the location authentication, network quality of service (QoS), network capacity and time delay. The results demonstrate that peer‐assisted authentication considering location authentication and system QoS through dynamic access control strategies can be effectively and efficiently implemented in a number of use cases.
Highlights
Driven by the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots and femtocells in public places, location-based services (LBSs) have experienced a surge in development in recent years.1 In LBS systems, users can request a location-dependent service from LBS providers
It contains a range of mobile Internet of Things (IoT) (MIoT) technologies standardized by the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
In order to characterize the performance of successful authentication probability, it is necessary to determine the number of user equipments (UEs) participating in the peer-assisted authentication

Driven by the proliferation of Wi-Fi hotspots and femtocells in public places, location-based services (LBSs) have experienced a surge in development in recent years.. In LBS systems, users can request a location-dependent service from LBS providers. To ensure appropriate use, and assist in the security, of these services, authentication is important. Once mobile users are authenticated, it is possible to grant specific access permissions, such as multimedia-based tourism and nearby marketing
