Countering of Black Hole Attack on Manet with AODV Protocol

Security in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is the most serious issue impacting performance of network. In general, routing methods is one of the complicated and exciting analysis places. In black hole attack, a harmful node uses its routing technique to be able to promote itself for having the quickest direction to the place node or to the bundle it wants to identify. In this research, performance of one of the most efficient solutions for preventing single black hole attack in MANET using AODV routing protocol will be investigated in terms of packet delivery ratio, packet loss percentage, average end-to-end delay, and route request overhead. This chapter describes the introduction, background of the study, research objectives and questions, the scope of the study and its primary objectives.

EATMR: An Energy-Aware Trust Algorithm Based the AODV Protocol and Multi-path Routing Approach in Wireless Sensor Networks

Rapid developments in radio technology and processors have led to the emergence of small sensor nodes that provide communication over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The crucial issues in these networks are energy consumption management and reliable data exchange. Due to the limited resources of sensor nodes, WSNs become a vulnerable target against many security attacks. Thus, energy-aware trust-based techniques have become a powerful tool for detecting nodes’ behavior and providing security solutions in WSN. Clustering-based routings are one of the most effective methods in increasing the WSN performance. In this paper, an Energy-Aware Trust algorithm based on the AODV protocol and Multi-path Routing approach (EATMR) is proposed to improve the security of WSNs. EATMR consists of two main phases: firstly, the nodes are clustered based on the Open-Source Development Model Algorithm (ODMA), and then in the second phase, clustering-based routing is applied. In this paper, the routing process follows the AODV protocol and multi-path routes approach with considering energy-aware trust. Here, the optimal and safe route is determined based on various parameters, namely energy, trust, hop-count, and distance. In this regard, we emphasize the evaluation of node trust using direct trust, indirect trust, and a multi-objective function. The simulation has been performed in MATLAB software in the presence of a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The simulation results show that EATMR performs better than other approaches such as M-CSO and SQEER in terms of successfully detecting malicious nodes and enhancing network lifetime, energy consumption, and packet delivery ratio.

Optimization of the AODV-Based Packet Forwarding Mechanism for BLE Mesh Networks

The standard Bluetooth Low-Energy mesh networks assume the use of flooding for multihop communications. The flooding approach causes network overheads and delays due to continuous message broadcasting in the absence of a routing mechanism. Among the routing protocols, AODV is one of the most popular and robust routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we optimized the AODV protocol for Bluetooth Low-Energy communication to make it more efficient in comparison to the mesh protocol. With the proposed protocol (Optimized AODV (O-AODV)), we were able to achieve lower overheads, end-to-end delay, and average per-hop one-way delay in comparison to the BLE mesh (flooding) protocol and AODV protocol for all three scenarios (linear topology with ten nodes, multipath topology with six and ten nodes). In addition, the proposed protocol exhibited practically constant route requests and route reply setup times. Furthermore, the proposed protocol demonstrated a better Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) for O-AODV (84%) in comparison to AODV (71%), but lower than the PDR of the mesh (flooding) protocol with 93%.

Detection and Isolation of Selfish Nodes in MANET Using Collaborative Contact-Based Watchdog With Chimp-AODV

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is one of the most important self-configuring and independent wireless network. Numerous intermediate nodes are used among MANET to interchange the information without the requirement of any centralized infrastructure. But some nodes act selfishly and utilize the resources only for their own purposes and do not share with the neighbors. This selfish nodes might delay or drop the packet and do not perform routing. Though watchdog is a well-known selfish node detection technique, it causes false negatives and false positives that can affect the performance in terms of precision and speed. To eliminate the drawbacks of existing approaches in selfish node detection, this paper integrates both Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol incorporated with chimp optimization algorithm and Collaborative Contact based Watchdog to propose a novel technique called Chimp-CoCoWa-AODV in order to improve the performance of MANET. The main role of chimp optimization algorithm in AODV is to undergo optimal route selection process. The performance of the proposed Chimp-CoCoWa-AODV approach is compared with existing approaches in terms of average routing load, Average Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF), Average End-to-end Delay (EED), Average Throughput, Total packet drop in the application layer, and maliciously dropped packet in the routing layer. The simulation results shows that the proposed approach is effective with 82% PDF and 7.4 ms EED at 50 nodes in detection and isolation of selfish nodes in MANET even in the presence of malicious node.

The Effects of Physical and Mac Parameters on the Routing by Cross-Layers Interaction Approach

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are an ad hoc network consisting of miniaturized autonomous sensors that communicate with each other over a radio link. In this paper, the authors' contribution is a cross-layer approach. To achieve this approach, the authors proposed in the first part an improvement of LEACH algorithm named WEIGHTED_LEACH. This algorithm is an enhancement of LEACH by inserting novel factors in the threshold equation in order to choose the best node to be CH by competitiveness strategy. In the second part, the authors propose a new adaptable cross-layer design realized by proposed algorithm and AODV protocol with cross layer interaction algorithm. This is an improvement by the control of data fusion in the network using multi-hop routing based on weight metric deducts from relative parameters of node such RSSI, SINR, residual energy, and distance. A comparative analysis between WEIGHTED_LEACH and LEACH, shown for different configurations the efficiency of the proposition in terms of energy saving and life time of WSN cluster, are evaluate under the NS2 simulator.

An Improvement of Ant Colony Adhoc On-Demand Vector (ANT-AODV) with K-Means Clustering Nodes Method in Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) Environment

MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Network) is a technology used for data communication on mobile media. MANET moves and speeds also randomly with different distances between nodes. In the AODV reactive protocol, the development of a routing protocol with an ant colony model can significantly improve performance. The measurement results will impact the decision on the development of the ant colony protocol implemented in AODV to obtain the best route for data transmission. Several studies have developed the K-Means clustering method to obtain the shortest and best route from the AODV protocol. It does not measure congestion, distance, energy, and signal strength of the wireless network. In this research, a combination of methods was carried out, by combining clustering and also ant colony method to get the best route while dealing with the problems that have been mentioned. Implementation is done by modifying the AODV protocol and adding the two methods. At the end of the research, metric measurements were carried out to determine the Packet Delivery Ratio, End to End Delay and also the Average Hop Count.
