Abstract

Provided are a method and an arrangement for creating a wireless mesh network in which a new node is provided that is connected between mesh nodes and an AAA server located in an infrastructure network. Based on basic encoding data that is available to the new node following successful initial authentication of a first mesh node, the new node performs the authentication similar to a proxy server instead of an AAA server, particularly for a limited time, during subsequent authentication attempts.
