Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) has become an individual part for communication for mobile device. Therefore, interest in research of Mobile Ad-hoc network has been growing since last few years. Due to the open medium, dynamic network topology, autonomous terminal, lack of centralized monitoring and lack of management point Mobile Ad-hoc network are highly vulnerable to security attacks compared ...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes communicating in a multi hop way without any fixed infrastructure such as access points or base stations. Mobile ad hoc networks have several advantages over the traditional wired networks, on the other sides they have a unique set of challenges like MANETs face challenges in secure communication, mobile nodes without adequate prot...

Designing an efficient and robust routing algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a challenging job compared to that of a wired and immobile network as because of some intrinsic characteristics of the MANET like highly dynamic nature of network topology due to mobility of nodes, asymmetric links, limited bandwidth, limited battery power, and alike. The statistics shows that the most of t...

Routing is a basic step for data exchange. In wireless ad-hoc networks each node acts as a router and executes a routing protocol. Wireless ad-hoc networks are highly resource constrained in terms of network topology, memory and computation power. The reliable data transfer is a difficult task in wireless ad-hoc networks because of resource constraints. A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a kind...

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that communicate with each other in the absence of fixed infrastructure. Due to the absence of fixed infrastructure, each node communicates with another in multi hop manner. In MANET, mobile nodes are operating in battery energy, energy becomes a scarce resource. Nodes are also joining and leaving the network at unpredicted ...

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically form a network temporarily without any support of central management. Routing in Mobile ad hoc network is extremely challenging because of its limited bandwidth, battery constraints, routing overhead, asymmetric link, speed, scalability, packet loss and quality of services. The widely accepted existing routi...

Multicast communication is an efficient means to support key network applications such as real-time teleconferencing and data dissemination. In this paper we devise a security architecture for multicast communications in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Our design is both suitable in MANET environment and compliant to the IETF standard Multicast Group Security Architecture (MGSA) [1]. Because c...
