Simulation and analysis performance of ad-hoc routing protocols under DDoS attack and proposed solution

Ad hoc networks, known as infrastructure-less networks, are composed of mobile nodes that connect without a centralized system controlling them. These networks have a wide range of potential applications, including emergency response, events, military operations, wireless access, and intelligent transportation. They can take on various forms, such as wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, and mobile ad hoc networks. Because users in these networks can move around at any time, routing protocols must adapt to the constantly changing network layout. However, these networks are also susceptible to various security threats, including DDoS attacks. This paper aims to analyze the performance and impact of security attacks on the performance of reactive and proactive routing protocols in CBR connection patterns with different pause times. The analysis is provided in metrics such as throughput, packet loss, end-to-end delay, and load. The simulation results show that, on average, the OPNET Modeler simulator analyzed the performance results under DDoS attacks under voice and video traffic conditions. Furthermore, the paper explores the use of Honeypot intelligent agents as a solution to increase security by creating a dummy node to fool DDoS attackers. The results show that the OLSR protocol is most affected by DDoS attacks in terms of quality-of-service metrics such as packet loss, throughput, end-to-end delay, and load. The number of responses to the honeypot solutions differs for each protocol.

An energy cooperation method of wireless sensor networks based on partially observable Markov decision processes

The performance of routing protocols in wireless sensor networks, such as energy conservation, energy and load balancing. These indicators have a very important impact on the network lifetime. Energy cooperation technology refers to the purposeful transfer of energy from nodes with sufficient energy to nodes with insufficient energy. Firstly, according to POMDP (Partially Observable Markov Decision Process) model, related theories and solving algorithms, this paper proposes an energy cooperation method based on POMDP, establishes an interference decision model based on POMDP, and solves the model. This paper proposes an energy balance routing algorithm based on multi-attribute decision making (EBR_MDM). This algorithm is used to solve the application problem of wireless sensor networks with stable data flow. Including the uneven distribution of network energy, hot spots and energy holes, packet loss caused by node overload and retransmission energy consumption. According to the relative entropy, the attribute weight is calculated, and the optimal forward data is selected to the neighboring nodes. The simulation results show that the network running time of EBR_MDM is increased by 22.1 %, 48.7 % and 101.3 % respectively compared with other comparison protocols. Finally, because the sensor nodes are randomly arranged in the predetermined monitoring area, and the distribution of each node is chaotic, this paper establishes TMA (Trilateral Measurement Algorithm) algorithm to locate the target. The simulation results show that the positioning error of TMA may be about 1.2 m due to trilateration, but it is still within an acceptable range.

Meningkatkan Kinerja Protokol Routing Aomdv Dalam Memilih Node Tetangga Berdasarkan Bandwidth, Round Trip Time, Dan Packet Loss Ratio Untuk Menemukan Rute Terbaik

Mobile ad hoc network or in short MANET is a group of node that exchange the information from source node to destination node on wireless network. The main problem in MANET is on the network structure that change continously that is cause by node mobility that made route disconnected. If route disconnect there will be another route discovery processes that will take much time. AOMDV (Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector) routing protocol works by doing broadcast Route Request Packet (RREQ) from source node to neighbor node (intermediate node) and then it will continously until it arrives to destination node. AOMDV didnt choose the best neighbor node while broadcast RREQ packet so the route constructed have high possibility to disconnected and must re-broadcast until it find stable route and it will be a long time and not effective. To solve this problem it proposed to add a modification with AOMDV routing protocol with calculation of bandwidth, round trip time, and packet loss ratio to choose neighbor node to find the best route. Routing protocol performance will tested using test parameter throughput, delay, and packet delivery ratio to choose the best neighbor node. Based on test result, the proposed modification can improve the preformance of AOMDV routing protocol. After modification, average throughput has improved 43.26 %, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) improved 3.15 % and average end-to-end delay reduce 31.26%.

The goal of the research is to evaluate AODV routing protocol performance improved with SDN technology applied on VANET network in specified environment of a city.

The implemented evaluation protocol shows the importance of the adopted approach.

Impact of Evaporation on the Performance of Ant Colony Optimization-Based Routing Protocols on the Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has the characteristics limited computing, memory and energy, so a routing protocol that supports WSN network performance is needed. Routing protocols based Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) are very suitable for use in WSN for routing data packets. In this report, we will try out several kinds of parameter values that bear on the pheromone evaporation (ρ) on the ACO algorithms applied to the WSN routing protocol with grid topology on the number of nodes variables in the WSN network. Where this can increase the number of delivery packets on a busy WSN network and each node transmits a packet continuously. From the results, the value of ρ 0.75 makes WSN performance on the grid topology with the number of nodes 12 and 30 very good in terms of the delivery packet, but with the number of nodes 70 the value of ρ 0.70 makes WSN performance better than the delivery packet side.

Energy-Saving Routing Protocols for Smart Cities

In recent decades, expansion in urban areas has faced issues such as management of public waste, noise, mobility, and air quality, among others. In this scenario, Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) scenarios are being considered for Smart Cities solutions based on the deployment of wireless remote sensor nodes to monitor large urban areas. However, as the number of nodes increases, the amount of data to be routed increases significantly as well, meaning that the choice of the data routing process has great importance in terms of the energy consumption and lifetime of the network. In this work, we describe and evaluate the energy consumption of routing protocols for WSN-based Smart Cities applications in LoRa-based mesh networks, then propose a novel energy-saving radio power adjustment (RPA) routing protocol. The Cupcarbon network simulator was used to evaluate the performance of different routing protocols in terms of their data package delivery rate, average end-to-end delay, average jitter, throughput, and load consumption of battery charge. Additionally, a novel tool for determining the range of nodes based on the Egli propagation model was designed and integrated into Cupcarbon. The routing protocols used in this work are Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Distance Vector Routing (DVR). Our simulation results show that AODV presents the best overall performance, DSR achieves the best results for power consumption, and DVR is the best protocol in terms of latency. Finally, the proposed RPA routing protocol presents power savings of 11.32% compared to the original DSR protocol.

Effect of NTT on Performance of AODV in a Grid Topology-Based Wireless Ad Hoc Network

Routing in wireless ad hoc networks that enable nodes, acting as routers also, to find the best path between source and destination nodes, taking into account cost, is a very challenging task. In the present work, an investigation of performance of AODV routing protocol in a grid topology based ad hoc network by varying the value of node traversal time (NTT) and taking into account absence and presence of Hello messages is reported. A set of metrics, including Average End-to-End Delay, Packet Delivery Ratio, Throughput, Routing Overhead, Route Error Overhead, Normalized Routing Load, Average Hop Count, and Total Number of Received Data Packets, has been used to assess the performance of AODV in the grid network. Performance of AODV routing protocol varies in the value of NTT. Throughput in grid topology, by and large, is observed to decrease with an increase in NTT. However, explicit relations between certain metrics with NTT as well as simulation time could not be traced due to intricacies involved in the combination of states of various links and flows in the grid topology. To have better insights, grid topologies of two, three, and four rows are planned to be investigated in the future.

Artificial intelligence has recently been used in FANET-based routing strategies for decision-making, which is a unique paradigm. For effective communication in flying vehicles that use routing protocols to accomplish tasks collectively, aerial vehicles are used in both civic and military applications. Aerial ad hoc networks are wirelessly connected, and designing routing schemes is difficult due to the rapid mobility. Ground base stations and satellites are frequently used to interconnect UAV ad hoc networks. This paper developed a novel routing protocol with a focus on ant behavior routing, which assists in end-to-end security. For the first time in flying networks, the column mobility model is used to evaluate the performance of routing protocols. While merging with aerial ad hoc networks, AI-based networking is a relatively new field. In simulation results, AntHocNet shows better results in comparison with other contemporary routing algorithms. Pheromone update process is used for data encryption in AntHocNet. This research study is performed on network simulator-2.

A Simulation Modeling Approach for the Performance of Proactive, Reactive and Position-based Routing Protocols in MANET

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) hasrecently gotten much attention, especially regarding proactive, reactive, and position-based routing protocols. Routing protocols' primary objective is to transmit data packets from their source to their destination. Identifying the best routing protocol is a common problem in Ad Hoc networks. This paper presents a performance evaluation study of proactive, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), reactive; Ad Hoc onDemand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), and positionbased routing; Location-Aided Routing (LAR1). The QualNet v5.1 simulator was used to conduct the performance evaluation study. The effectiveness of those routing protocols was also assessed using measures of throughput, typical endto-end delay, typical jitter, and energy consumption. This paper depicts that OSPF and AODV have the best performance among the number of packet sizes for the tested protocols.

Transmission Power and Quality of Service In MANET Routing Protocols

Wireless communication is significantly influenced by the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), which consists of nodes like mobile phones, tablets, computers, or other devices that can connect with one another. MANET is a decentralized network that communicates without using any specified infrastructure. The lack of battery power in this multihop network with no infrastructure is problematic. As a result, proper transmission power utilization must be considered. Transmission power significantly impacts the data dissemination of different routing protocols used in this MANET environment. By taking this issue into account, the performance of routing protocols is examined based on different transmission power settings. The packet delivery ratio (PDR), packet loss (PL), jitter, and Dealy all play a role in determining network service quality. This study investigates how transmission power impacts MANET routing protocols’ quality of Service (QoS). The MANET routing protocols investigated in this study include AODV, OLSR, DSDV, and DSR. NS3 is used to create the simulation environment. According to this analysis, AODV outperforms other routing protocols in overall performance.

Enhance the performance of AODV routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc networks

Enhancing the quality of service is still facing various challenges due to nature and configuration of mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) such as free movement of nodes, unpredictable changes in network topology as no infrastructure exist in the network. The large usage of mobile ad-hoc network in various applications raises the demand to enhance the performance as well as reduce loss of packets through various factors. The routing protocols play the most important aspect in MANET. There are three kinds of routing protocols that are: reactive, proactive and hybrid that are utilized to optimize the network’s functionality. Ad-hoc on-demand Distance victor (AODV) routing protocol is the popular used to achieve best output result. The most important objectives of this paper are to enhance the performance of mobile ad-hoc network by using AODV protocol. This paper gives some changes in AODV routing protocols that’s assist the performance enhancement of AODV in mobile ad-hoc network. The simulation is carried out on the network simulator NS2 and the output result show the improved AODV has excellent performance in term of packet delivery ratio, secondly throughput, third is the routing overhead and finally is end to end delay.

Analysis of the Most Relevant Factors for Routing in Internet of Space Things Networks

The “Internet of Space Things” (IoST) is an emerging paradigm to provide Internet and data services around the globe. IoST networks can potentially support the deployment of services in underserved areas, such as monitoring inaccessible areas for early warning applications, open ocean and sea ice monitoring, and surveillance of remote ecosystems such as forests and jungles, among others. To enable the IoST paradigm, designing and developing appropriate routing protocols is crucial. This work presents a methodology based on 2k factorial statistical analysis and an in-house developed space simulator (available upon request) to identify the critical factors affecting the performance of routing protocols in “Internet of Space Things” scenarios. The analyzed factors consider reactive and proactive routing approaches, connectivity, and the freshness of routing information. The results provide essential lessons for the research community to design protocols that could adapt under different IoST scenarios. The 2k factorial analysis applied in the study of the routing protocols’ performance can be an effective tool for developing specialized routing protocols.

LDAB-GPSR: Location PreDiction with Adaptive Beaconing – Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

In mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), nodes are randomly distributed and move freely, and hence the network may face rapid and unexpected topological changes. In this paper, an improved greedy perimeter stateless routing protocol, called “LDAB-GPSR”, is proposed. LDAB-GPSR mainly focuses on maximizing the packet delivery ratio while minimizing the control overhead. In order to accomplish this, two techniques are introduced, the first one is the location prediction technique in which the greedy forwarding strategy is improved by choosing more stable routes for data forwarding. The second one is the adaptive beaconing technique in which the slow start algorithm is employed to adapt the beacon packet interval time based on the mobility of nodes and the data traffic load instead of using the periodic beaconing strategy. These two strategies together improve the overall performance of the GPSR routing protocol. The performance of the new proposed protocol is evaluated by carrying out several NS-2.35 simulation experiments. The simulation results show that LDAB-GPSR protocol outperforms the GPSR+Predict protocol in terms of packet delivery ratio, control traffic overhead, end to end delay, and throughput. The ratios of enhancement approaches 40%.

Investigation of Video Streaming over MANETS Routing Protocols

For industrial and academic researchers from all around the world, the Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a specific focus. A MANET was created as a result of the fast growth of wireless gadgets. Mobile Ad hoc network is a self-organizing network with no framework. MANET’s device has the ability to travel in any direction in order to transmit and receive data with other devices or network nodes. An administrator node which is capable of controlling other nodes is absent in MANET. All nodes in MANET act as its own router and host and arrange its own network. The most important element of MANET is Routing protocol. For routing in MANET, various routing protocol is responsible. Providing a video streaming service using mobile ad-hoc networks is a hard task. The network topology is immensely unstable and its instability causes data to be lost. The performance of MANET routing protocols for video applications has been examined in this paper. There are many routing protocols, however the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol and Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocols are explored here. In this work, a comparison of these two effective routing protocols for supporting video streaming applications is offered.

MANET Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocols

A group of wireless nodes forms a configuration that is linked to a remote medium forming dynamic topology. A routing protocol enables packets to travel from the sender to the destination via intermediate nodes. When a device or intermediate node delivers information to other nodes in an Ad hoc network, the node consumes some energy, and data transmission may be interrupted as all of the power is consumed. MANET is often power-driven devices, the difficult component in MANET is to lower the power consumption of energy by the intermediate devices in the network so that the network remains active at the time of data transmission. The characteristics, uses, and problems of MANET are described in this research. In addition, we look at the MANET routing protocols. The performance of alternative routing protocols, such as DSDV, AODV, AOMDV, and DSR, is then compared using performance measures. The NS2.35 simulator is used to conduct the performance assessment.

A Versatile MANET Experimentation Platform and Its Evaluation through Experiments on the Performance of Routing Protocols under Diverse Conditions

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are characterized by highly dynamic phenomena and volatility. These features have a significant impact on network performance and should be present in the scenarios of experiments for the assessment of MANET-related technologies. However, the currently available experimentation approaches suffer from limitations, either employing overly abstract simulation-based models that cannot capture real-world imperfections or drawing upon “monolithic” testbeds suited only to a narrow set of predetermined technologies, operational scenarios, or environmental conditions. Toward addressing these limitations, this work proposes a versatile platform that can accommodate many of the complexities present in real-world scenarios while still remaining highly flexible and customizable to enable a wide variety of MANET-related experiments. The platform is characterized by a modular architecture with clearly defined modules for the signaling between peer mobile nodes, the tracking of each node’s location and motion, the routing protocol functionality, and the management of communication messages at each node. The relevant software runs on inexpensive Raspberry Pi-based commodity hardware, which can be readily attached to robotic devices for moving the network nodes in accordance with controlled mobility patterns. Moreover, through an appropriate tuning of certain modules, a number of important operational conditions can be precisely controlled through software, e.g., restricting the communications range (thus reducing the network density) or for emulating the mobility patterns of nodes. The effectiveness and versatility of the proposed platform are demonstrated through the realization of a series of experiments on the performance comparison of selected routing protocols under diverse network density conditions.

Analysis of Algorithms to Control the Congestion by Improve Energy Efficiency in WSN

Congestion is a major significant challenge in WSNs because it directly impacts energy efficiency and the network lifetime of sensor nodes in the network. This paper aims to analyze the different congestion control or avoidance routing protocols performances in WSNs with their drawbacks for identifying the upcoming scope of congestion-aware routing protocols in WSNs. This article proposed an adaptive queuing system with the WPDDRC called a proficient control (PRC) algorithm to tackle this issue. In this algorithm, two independent virtual queues are considered single physical length (lines), which accumulate the input packets from every child's node depending on the source's traffic significance and priority. A Proficient Rate Control (PRC) technique develops using traffic type priority and virtual queue conditions. Here, a PRC with fair bandwidth allocation (PRC-FBA) technique is compared and analyzed. It must handle the congestion due to the mix of RT and Non-RT (NRT) packets effectively in network.

Enhanced Clustering Routing Protocol for Power-Efficient Gathering in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a new and fast advancing technology, which is opening up many opportunities in the field of remote sensing and data monitoring. In spite of the numerous applications of WSN, issues related to determining a suitable and accurate radio model that will foster energy conservation in the network limit the performance of WSN routing protocols. A number of radio models have been proposed to address this issue. However, the underlying assumptions and inaccurate configuration of these radio models make them impractical and often lead to mismanagement of scarce energy and computational resources. This paper addresses this problem by proposing an enhanced radio model that adapts to the frequent changes in the location of the sensor nodes and is robust enough to report reliable data to the base station despite fluctuations due to interference. The impact of incorporating stepwise energy level and specialized data transmission schemes in the proposed radio model is also investigated in this paper. The performance of the proposed radio model is evaluated using OMNET++ and MATLAB and the results obtained is benchmarked against PEGASIS. It is shown by simulation that the novel LEACH-IMP performs better with respect to energy consumption, number of links faults, number of packets received, signal attenuation, and network lifetime.

Effect of NTT on Performance of AODV in a Linear AD HOC Network

Wireless Ad Hoc Networks (WANETs) are predicted to be prevalent networks in coming future because of their infrastructure-less characteristics that result in self-organization, self-healing, and self-configuration of such networks. Routing means the process of selecting a path along which data can be transferred from source to destination that plays a significant role in the performance of ad hoc networks. There are many routing protocols developed for wireless ad hoc networks. One of such protocols, developed by C. E. Perkins, is Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, which is a reactive routing protocol, AODV is used to establish route(s) between source node(s) and destination node(s) as and when routes are required. Performance of AODV routing protocol depends heavily on choice of values of a set of predefined attributes. One of such attributes of AODV is Node Traversal Time (NTT) which is supposed to play significant role in establishing route(s) between source node(s) and destination node(s). In this paper, we have investigated the performance of AODV in a linear wireless ad hoc network using different values of NTT using as well as without using Hello messages. The performance of the network has been measured using several metrics like Route Error Overhead, Routing Overhead, Normalized Routing Load, Average Hop Count, Total Number of Received Data Packets, Packet Delivery Ratio, Average End-to-End Delay and Throughput. It is observed that choice of value of NTT has a significant effect on establishment of route(s) between source node(s) and destination node(s) that eventually affects the performance of the linear wireless ad hoc network under consideration. The insights gained through this work could be useful in analysis of more realistic and complex networks.

Performance Evaluation of VANET Routing Protocols in Madinah City

Traffic management challenges in peak seasons for popular destinations such as Madinah city have accelerated the need for and introduction of autonomous vehicles and Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) to assist in communication and alleviation of traffic congestions. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the performance of communication routing protocols in VANETs between autonomous and human-driven vehicles in Madinah city in varying traffic conditions. A simulation of assorted traffic distributions and densities were modeled in an extracted map of Madinah city and then tested in two application scenarios with three ad hoc routing protocols using a combination of traffic and network simulation tools working in tandem. The results measured for the average trip time show that opting for a fully autonomous vehicle scenario reduces the trip time of vehicles by approximately 7.1% in high traffic densities and that the reactive ad hoc routing protocols induce the least delay for network packets to reach neighboring VANET vehicles. From these observations, it can be asserted that autonomous vehicles provide a significant reduction in travel time and that either of the two reactive ad hoc routing protocols could be implemented for the VANET implementation in Madinah city. Furthermore, we perform an ANOVA test to examine the effects of the factors that are considered in our study on the variation of the results.
