Abstract

Disclosed are an area-limited self-organized wireless network management method, a communication apparatus, and a system. The method comprises a step of, when a communications apparatus which is entering the limited area receives area signals for indicating a specific area in which network nodes are located, determining by the communications apparatus whether the master node exists in the limited area; a step of, if it is determined that the master node exists, performing identity authentication with regard to the master node and letting the communications apparatus itself be a sub node by the communications apparatus; and a step of, if it is determined that the master node does not exist, letting the communications apparatus itself be the master node by the communications apparatus, wherein, the master node is in charge of entering of a new sub node and synchronization of shared secret keys between the network nodes.
