A Comprehensive Review on Intrusion Detection and Prevention Schemes for Network Coding Enabled Mobile Small Cells

Abstract

With technological breakthroughs and increasing network technology reliability in daily life, it is vital to provide robust network-based system operations. According to the Comprehensive Error Rate Test Report, as network attacks become more common, the number of attacks nearly doubles or triples every year. The fifth-generation mobile communication is going to provide a connecting world with almost zero Latency. Network coding has emerged as a viable answer to the mostly efficiency, secure network needs for coming-generation networking technology. A small cell environment with network coding allows an effective system to communicate with the high rate of data. A significant countermeasure for several forms of network attacks is the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Unique IDS solutions which are lightweight but also provide a high level of security are therefore demanded. The main security concerns in collaborative networks are Distributed -Denial- of- Service (DDOS) attacks, pollution attacks etc. While the network efficiency of non-DDOS attacks is also impaired, the impact of DDOS attacks is severe. In DDOS attacks, the specific node as a victim floods and mass traffic jams occurs, affecting the entire network performance. However, small, NC-enabled mobile cells, due to the essential NC vulnerabilities, are susceptible to pollution attacks. This article presents a brief survey on intrusion detection and mitigation schemes for Network Coding environment Mobile Small Cells.
