Mobile Ad Hoc On Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol For Manets

MANET-“ A mobile ad-hoc network is a self-configuring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless.”. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic.

With the increasing dependency on wireless networks, the need for proper reliability analysis for Mobile ad hoc networks (Manets) is also increasing. Failure of Manets in areas like warfare, nuclear reactors, medical equipment and airplanes can lead to catastrophe. Unlike traditional networks, measuring the reliability of Manets is a tedious task as it involves dynamically changing topology. The existing methods for calculating reliability use two terminal analysis as the basis for calculation. It uses the same method used for traditional computer networks to calculate reliability. However, the method is not very efficient when it comes to the wireless networks as they are far different from traditional networks. It is also a time consuming task to identify all the nodes and links in a wireless network as nodes move freely in the network. In This paper, We are going to discuss about NLN(Node-Link-Node) technique which reduces the complexity of analyzing the reliability in Manets.

The Ad-hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes which can communicate without each other with the help of wireless. There is no former communication infrastructure in MANETs [1]. There is no fixed infrastructure and centralized control in MANETs therefore nodes can communicate the network at any time. All nodes are supposed to be equal in processing power. All node can act either as a host or as a router to direct the packet from source to destination in the network. All nodes acts as routers and are capable of discovering and maintaining routes to propagate packets to the destinations.[2] There are lots of advantages promised of network in terms of cost and flexibility compared to network with infrastructures. Ad-hoc network are used for a great variety of applications such as data

Existing routing protocols in ad-hoc networks utilize the single route that is built for source and destination node pair. Due to node mobility, node failures nad the dynamic characteristics of the radio channel, links in a route may become temporarily unavailable, making the route invalid [2]. The overhead of finding alternative routes mounts along with additional packet delivery delay. This problem can be solved by use of multiple paths between source and destination node pairs, where one route can be used as the primary route and the rest as backup. Performance can be adversely affected by high route discovery in dynamic networks. This can be reduced by computing multiple paths in a single route discovery attempt. Multiple paths can be formed for both traffic sources and intermediate nodes with new routes being dicovered only when needed, reducing route discovey latency and routing overheads [1]. Multiple paths

The expanded probability of listening in, caricaturing, and denial‐of‐service assaults ought to be deliberately considered. Existing connection security procedures are frequently connected inside of remote systems to decrease security dangers. As an advantage, the decentralized way of system control in MANETs gives extra vigor against the single purposes of disappointment of more incorporated methodology

There has been extensive literature related to the security in wireless ad-hoc networks over the last two decades. There are several methods to increase the security other than trust management. Important among them are surveyed here.

Limited security in wireless sensor networks has led to a number of attacks come to prominence. Ameen et al (2012) identify the most common transmission threats to wireless sensor networks which include data modification, impersonation attacks, eavesdropping, and replaying (p. 97). Kumar and Lee (2012) specify routing threats in wireless sensor networks which they identify as follows:

Ad hoc networks are a new prototype of wireless communication for mobile hosts (which we call nodes).In an Ad hoc network, there is no fixed particular infrastructure such as base stations and mobile nodes. Mobile nodes that are within each other’s radio frequency range communicate directly via wireless links, while those that are far apart depend on other nodes to forward messages as routers. Ad hoc networks are peer to peer networks of mobile nodes. They are mostly used in sensor networks, habitat monitoring and robotic collaboration. In the recent times, Ad hoc networks have evoked increasing interest as adjustable distributed application environments. These days many people are using different types of wireless devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, PDAs (personal digital assistant) and mp3 players, as part of their professional and private lives. For the most part, these devices are used separately because the network applications do not interact. Ad hoc wireless communication between devices can be defined as a scheme, often indicated as the Ad hoc network, which allows devices to establish communication between the nodes anytime and anywhere to transfer data without the aid of a central infrastructure. The concepts of mobile Ad hoc networking along with its applications that can be envisioned are being described in this report. Ad hoc networking covers different types of positions in a communication. An Ad hoc Network framework can comprise of a

Designing a foolproof security for ad hoc network is a challenging task due to its unique characteristics such as, lack of central authority, frequent topology changes, rapid node mobility, shared radio channel and limited availability of resources

Security is a more sensitive issue in MANETs than any other networks due to lack of infrastructure and the broadcast nature of the network. While MANETs can be quickly set up as needed, so they also need secure data transfer over the network. We provide encryption and decryption algorithm using Rijndael (AES) block cipher. It helps the message to secure

Mobile ad hoc network (MANTE) is a group of wireless mobile computers (nodes) in where they help each other to forward packets when out of range of direct wireless transmission. When out of range could mean constantly moving, no base station infrastructure or infrastructure destroyed. Ad hoc networks can effortlessly and inexpensively be established. Ad hoc network can be easily set up due to the fact it doesn’t require a centralized administrator and doesn’t require a fixed network infrastructure (base station/ access point). With the creation of Ad hoc networks came the problem of secure routing protocols for this type of network.

In ad-hoc wireless network, mobile nodes are connected by wireless links. The network is an autonomous and self-configured. It doesn’t have fixed infrastructure or centralized management. The mobile nodes in network are free to move from one place to another. Each node has transmitter and receiver which is used to send and receives the data and communicates with other nodes which are in their communication range. If any node wants to forward packet to the node which is out of range, co-operation of other nodes required; this is known as multi-hop communication. In multi-hop communication message send and received by various intermediate nodes. The network topology frequently changes due to the mobility of nodes as they move within, move into, or move out of the network. In recent years, the ad-hoc wireless network rapidly increases being used in various applications i.e. military purpose, civilian and commercial uses without the fixed infrastructure and human interference.

Abstract— Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a special self-describing wireless ad hoc network which consists of more number of nodes that can move randomly and erratically. Because of this infrastructure it enables many kinds of attacks and establish topology-exposure problem. Many of the existing multipath protocols may ignore the topology-exposure problem. In this, we proposed a TOpology-HIding multipath routing Protocol (TOHIP) for preventing attacks in topology-exposure. In TOHIP, the link connection information is hidden in route messages, so that the malicious nodes cannot conclude the network topology. In Route Reply phase, the protocol TOHIP can also be used to establish multiple node-disjoint routes and eliminate the unreliable route before transmitting packets in Route Probe phase. With the help of a newly designed protocol, security was assured and earned better capability of finding routes in MANET. The simulation result shows that TOHIP has given better performance when compared with Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol.

The cross layer based reliable routing algorithm, is designed using the metric from the physical layer, data link layer and transferring it to the network layer to make the routing decisions. This algorithm involves the mobile node cooperatively to establish the route and introduces the radio link stability with extensive cross layer cooperation to establish reliable and stable routes. We have developed this algorithm by modifying the underlying principle of dynamic source routing protocol. Dynamic source routing is known for its benefits of routing in multiple paths avoiding the overhead of new route discovery whenever the route in use breaks [10. Hang Shen et.al, 2008]. The route discovery and route maintenance easily
