The diversification of wireless network traffic attack characteristics has led to the problems what traditional intrusion detection technology with high false positive rate, low detection efficiency, and poor generalization ability. In order to enhance the security and improve the detection ability of malicious intrusion behavior in a wireless network, this paper proposes a wireless network intrusion detection method based on improved convolutional neural network (ICNN). First, the network

The low-level intrusion traffic data is abstractly represented as advanced features by CNN, which extracted autonomously the sample features, and optimizing network parameters by stochastic gradient descent algorithm to converge the model. Finally, we conducted a sample test to detect the intrusion behavior of the network. The simulation results show that the method proposed in our paper has higher detection accuracy and true positive rate together with a lower false positive rate. The test results on the test set KDDTest + in our paper show that compared with the traditional models, the detection accuracy is 8.82% and 0.51% higher than that of LeNet-5 and DBN, respectively, and the recall rate is 4.24% and 1.16% higher than that of LeNet-5 and RNN, respectively, while the false positive rate is lower than the other three types of models. It also has a big advantage compared to the IDABCNN and NIDMBCNN methods. INDEX TERMS Wireless network intrusion detection, security, convolutional neural network. 64366 2169-3536
