Secured Self Organizing Network Architecture in Wireless Personal Networks

Abstract

Secured self organizing network is an approach to computer network architecture that seeks to address the technical issues in heterogeneous networks that may lack continuous network connectivity. In delay tolerant network packets storage exists when there is any link breakage between the nodes in the network so delay is tolerable in this type of network during the data transmission. But this delay is not tolerable in wireless network for voice packet transmission. This evokes the use of wireless networks. In a network, different wireless network topologies are interoperating with each other so the communication across the network is called overlay network. This network is vulnerable to attacks due to mobile behaviour of nodes and frequent changes in topologies of the network. The attacks are wormhole attack and blackhole attack is analysed in this paper. They are critical threats to normal operation in wireless networks which results in the degradation of the network performance. The proposed recovery algorithm for wormhole and the isolation of blackhole will increase the performance of the network. The performance metrics such as throughput, packet delivery ratio, end–end delay and routing overhead of the network are evaluated.
