Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of many wireless nodes or devices, placed together in an ad hoc manner and without the support of fixed infrastructure. All the nodes which are present in the network are mobile and can enter and leave the network any time. MANET serves the effective, operational bandwidth and have limited battery power for the nodes. Many different routing protocols and a...

Intrusion detection for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a complex and difficult task due to the nature of the network. The mobile ad hoc network is vulnerable due to its features of open medium, cooperative algorithms, dynamic changing topology, lack of centralized monitoring and management point. The mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) combine wireless communication with high degree of node mobil...

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a kind of wireless ad-hoc network, and is a self configuring network of mobile routers (and associated hosts) connected by wireless links – the union of which forms an arbitrary topology. The routers are free to move randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily, thus the network's wireless topology may change rapidly and unpredictably. Such a network may opera...

In the recent years, the technology of wireless ad-hoc networks has gained a lot of importance. MANET is a special case of ad-hoc wireless networks. Mobile nodes have small batteries with limited power. Large number of sensor nodes in MANET makes it impractical to replace sensor node batteries. Thus the life time of Mobile nodes is an important attribute of wireless ad-hoc networks. The life ti...

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a type of ad hoc network that MANET nodes can change their locations and configure by themselves on the fly. Because of mobility the MANET nodes, the management of a large MANET is difficult, therefore, clustering in a MANET is an important technique. A large network is divided into several sub networks applying clustering method. When the topology of the networ...

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that are arbitrarily located so that the interconnections between nodes are dynamically changing. In MANET mobile nodes forms a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. A routing protocol is used to find routes between mobile nodes to facilitate communication within the n...

As the popularity of mobile devices (MDs) and wireless networks significantly increased over the past years, wireless ad hoc networks has now become one of the most vibrant and active fields of communication and networking research. A MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) is a collection of wireless nodes that can dynamically form a network to exchange information without using any preexisting fixed ne...

A mobile ad hoc network is a network in which a group of mobile computing devices communicate among themselves using wireless radios, without the aid of a fixed networking infrastructure. This paper presents a logical survey on to detect the misbehaving node in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) using Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Mobile ad hoc networks have a different characteristic from wired...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure less open network of moveable devices which are connected by wireless links. Every node in a MANET is free to move in any direction and will therefore change its links to other devices continuously and unpredictably. Mobile devices can communicate with each other without the use of a predefined infrastructure or centralized administration. In...
