MANETs do not have any fixed infrastructure and consist of wireless mobile nodes that perform various data communication tasks. Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are collection of distributed nodes which communicate using multi-hop wireless links with frequent node mobility. The frequent mobility of nodes leads network partition and futile communication. So, there need an interconnection techniqu...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) eliminate the need for pre-existing infrastructure by relying on the nodes to perform all network services. The connectivity between the nodes is sporadic due to the shared, error-prone wireless medium and frequent route failures caused by node mobility. Fully self-organized MANETs are created solely by the end-users for a common purpose in an ad hoc fashion. For...

Understanding the fundamental end-to-end delay performance in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is of great importance for supporting Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteed applications in such networks. While upper bounds and approximations for end-to-end delay in MANETs have been developed in literature, which usually introduce significant errors in delay analysis, the modeling of exact end-to-end...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are one of the fastest growing areas of research. They are an attractive technology for many applications, such as rescue and tactical operations, due to the flexibility provided by their dynamic infrastructure. However, this flexibility comes at a price and introduces new security threats. Furthermore, many conventional security solutions used for wired networks...

In recent years, the use of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has been widespread in many applications, including some mission critical applications, and as such security has become one of the major concerns in MANETs. Due to some unique characteristics of MANETs, prevention methods alone are not sufficient to make them secure; therefore, detection should be added as another defense before an att...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have emerged as a tremendous wireless networking technology. MANETs are scalable and does not require a fixed architecture .nodes of the network plays the dual role as the transmitter and as the receiver. The self configuring ability has made MANETs useful in various applications such as military use and emergency recovery. Within the same communication range nod...

In this paper we provide a new scheme to securely forward the message in wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) by using existing homomorphic encryption schemes. This scheme is an alternative for threshold cryptography (TC) in MANETs to securely forward the message. By using homomorphic encryption schemes we remove the computational cost associated with Lagrange Interpolation scheme used in T...

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is an appealing technology that has attracted lots of research efforts over past years. Although the principle of wireless, structure-less, dynamic networks is attractive, there are still some major flaws that prevent commercial expansion. Security is one of these main barriers; MANETs are known to be particularly vulnerable to security attack. In this paper we d...

Although security issues in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) have been a major focus in the recent years, the development of fully secure schemes for these networks has not been entirely achieved till now. This talk will provide an overview of two of the most important security problems in MANETs: Authentication and Cooperation. On the one hand, a brief summary of the current state of the art in...

Recently, research on complex network theory and applications draws a lot of attention in both academy and industry. In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) area of research, a critical issue is to design the most effective topology for given problems. It is natural and significant to consider complex networks topology when optimising the MANET topology. Current works usually transform MANET or sens...
