    Abstract: An access point of a wireless communication network may be configured to receive a solicited wireless communication from an electronic device in response to a request, the solicited wireless communication being transmitted by the electronic device over a channel of the wireless communication network. The access point may extract channel characteristics from the solicited wireless communication, the channel characteristics being timing-dependent effects on the channel associated with the solicited wireless communication. The access point may generate a device fingerprint based at least in part on the channel characteristics, the device fingerprint being specific to hardware of the electronic device. Using the device fingerprint, the access point or another device may determine an identification, indicative of at least one of an identity or a device type, of the electronic device based on a stored device profile representative of at least one authenticated electronic device.
