—Wireless ad hoc networks are seldom characterized by one single performance metric, yet the current literature lacks a flexible framework to assist in characterizing the design...
1The classic Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol opts for the route requiring the lowest number of hops for transmitting data from the source to the destination. However, owing t...
Abstract-- As mobile ad hoc network applications are deployed, security emerges as a central requirement. In this paper, we introduce the wormhole attack, a severe attack in ad hoc...
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is formed by a group of mobile wireless nodes, each of which functions as a router and agrees to forward packets for others. Many routing protocols ...
Abstract. Proactive routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks currently offer few mechanisms to detect and/or counter malevolent nodes. Stability and performance of most, if not...
