The unique characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks, such as shared wireless channels, dynamic topologies and a reliance on cooperative behavior, makes routing protocols employed by these networks more vulnerable to attacks than routing protocols employed within traditional wired networks. We propose a specification-based intrusion-detection model for ad hoc routing protocols in which network ...

In order to conduct meaningful performance analysis of routing algorithms in the context of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), it is essential that the underlying mobility model on which the simulation is based reflects realistic mobility behavior. However, current mobility models for MANET simulation are either unrealistic or are tailor-made for particular scenarios. Furthermore, none of the exis...

MANET is a cooperative network in which nodes are responsible for forwarding as well as routing. Noncooperation is still a big challenge that certainly degrades the performance and reliability of a MANET. This paper presents a novel methodology to overcome routing misbehavior in MANET using Retaliation Model. In this model node misbehavior is watched and an equivalent misbehavior is given in re...

Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulse radio, promises to be suitable for short-range, low-power, low cost and high data rate applications. While most UWB research is concentrating on the physical layer, little research has been published on the link layer. The fundamental operations in the link layer need to take into account the specifics of impulse radio and also the particular features of ad hoc net...

Since progress in many avenues of science depends heavily on simulated results, discrete event simulators have been the subject of much research into their efficient design and execution. This paper introduces JiST, a Java-based simulation framework that executes discrete event simulations both efficiently and transparently. Our system differs from existing work in that it embeds simulation tim...

We present a self-healing On-demand Geographic Path Routing Protocol (OGPR) for mobile ad-hoc networks. OGPR is an efficient, stateless, and scalable routing protocol that inherits the best of the three well-known techniques for routing in ad-hoc networks, viz., greedy forwarding, reactive route discovery, and source routing. In OGPR protocol, source nodes utilize the geographic-topology inform...

Ad hoc network is a set of nodes that are able to move and can be connected in an arbitrary manner. Each node acts as a router and communicates using a multi-hop wireless links. Nodes within ad hoc networks need efficient dynamic routing protocols to facilitate communication. An Efficient routing protocol can provide significant benefits to mobile ad hoc networks, in terms of both performance a...

Various simulators (e.g., ns-2 and GloMoSim) are available to implement and study the behavior of the routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). But, students and investigators who are new to this area often get perplexed in the complexity of these simulators and lose the focus in designing and analyzing the characteristics of the network and the protocol. Most of the time would be ...

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a fuzzy based Priority Scheduler in wireless Adhoc networks, with real time traffic under varying channel conditions. An Adhoc network is composed of mobile nodes connected by wireless links without any preexisting infrastructure. The network’s dynamic topology poses challenging problems for QoS routing. Hence a scheduling discipline can be used ...

Network–wide broadcasting is used extensively in mobile ad hoc networks for route discovery and for disseminating data throughout the network. Flooding is a common approach to performing network-wide broadcasting. Although it is a simple mechanism that can achieve high delivery ratio, flooding consumes much of the communication bandwidth and causes serious packet redundancy, contention and coll...
