چکیده

Although individual node cooperation is necessary for the correct execution of network protocols in Mobile Adhoc Networks, it is not always guaranteed. In this paper, we present a reputation mechanism aiming at enforcing node cooperation in clustered Mobile Ad-hoc Networks with centralized control. Misbehavior detection techniques for protocol attacks in the cluster formation phases of the network operation are developed. Statistical methods for selecting the optimal parameters of the reputation scheme are investigated and their efficiency is illustrated through theoretical analysis and simulation results. Special care has been given to issues such as probability of detection of a misbehaving MT and probability of falsely accusing a legitimate node due to nonintentional failures to cooperate. Additionally, the robustness of the reputation mechanism in the presence of multiple malicious or selfish nodes is evaluated. Index Terms — Ad-hoc networks, MANETs, Cooperation Enforcement, Misbehavior Detection, Reputation Mechanism, Random Walk.

The Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks

Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...

Reputation Based Localized Access Control for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

The absence of a router or a base station urges the need for better access control mechanism in the ad-hoc networks. This paper presents a localized approach for access control which implements ticket certification services through reputation mechanism. Reputation refers to, the opinion of one node as seen by other nodes. Ticket certification ensures that, only well behaving nodes (which forwar...
