Abstract

A system and method for providing content protection in a wireless network for transmitting uncompressed video data is disclosed. An association request is received from a new device by a domain manger. A proximity control test is conducted to determine whether the new device is located within an acceptable distance from the domain manager. The association request is granted or rejected based at least partly on the result of the proximity control test. An authorization token is transmitted to the new device when the association request is granted.
