A Novel Method of Enhancing Security Solutions and Energy Efficiency of IoT Protocols

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET’s) are wireless networks that are capable of operating without any fixed infrastructure. MANET routing protocols must adhere to strict secrecy, integrity, availability and non-repudiation criteria. In MANETs, attacks are roughly categorised into two types: active and passive. An active attack attempts to modify or remove data being transferred across a network. On the other hand, passive attack does not modify or erase the data being sent over the network. The majority of routing protocols for MANETs were built with little regard for security and are therefore susceptible to a variety of assaults. Routing technologies such as AODV and dynamic source routing are quite common. Both however are susceptible to a variety of network layer attacks, including black holes, wormholes, rushing, byzantine, information disclosure. The mobility of the nodes and the open architecture in which the nodes are free to join or leave the network keep changing the topology of the network. The routing in such scenarios becomes a challenging task since it has to take into account the constraints of resources of mobile devices. In this an analysis of these protocols indicates that, though proactive routing protocols maintain a route to every destination and have low latency, they suffer from high routing overheads and inability to keep up with the dynamic topology in a large sized network. The reactive routing protocols in contrast have low routing overheads, better throughput and higher packet delivery ratio. AODVACO-PSO-DHKE Methodology boosts throughput by 10% while reducing routing overhead by 7%, latency by 8% and energy consumption by 5%. To avoid nodes always being on, a duty cycle procedure that's also paired with the hybrid method is used ACO-FDR PSO is applied to a 100-node network and NS-3 is used to measure various metrics such as throughput, latency, overhead, energy consumption and packet delivery ratio.

Energy consumption analysis of DSR reactive routing protocol on mobile ad-hoc network

Mobile ad-hoc network is a connection between mobile devices that uses wireless media. Mobile devices on the network hereinafter referred to a nodes. This network does not have an administrative center so each node on the network in addition to functioning as a sender and receiver of data information also functions as a router that will look for route information from the sender to the receiver. The topology of an ad-hoc network is always changing because the nodes move dynamically. The topology changes resulted in the repetition of route information searches. The process of finding route information requires a routing protocol. The routing protocol-enabled nodes must maintain the energy usage in the route-finding mechanism. Choosing the right routing protocol can be a solution to make energy use by nodes more efficient, especially in ad-hoc networks. In this study, a routing protocol in the reactive category is used, namely DSR (Dynamic Source Routing). This study aims to determine the performance of energy consumption, remaining energy, and PDR with scenarios of increasing node movement speed and network area. Based on the research results, it is known that the DSR routing protocol can handle changes in the speed of node movement and network area related to energy consumption and remaining energy. This is evidenced by the results of research showing that with faster node movements and wider areas, less energy is required. Meanwhile, regarding the success of packet delivery, the DSR routing protocol cannot handle changes in the speed of node movement and network area. This is evidenced by the results of the packet delivery ratio measurement which shows that with faster node movements and wider areas, many packets are not successfully received.

Self-Organized Ad Hoc Mobile (SOAM) Underwater Sensor Networks

The need of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) having mobile sensor nodes has been there for a long time in form of underwater warfare or explorations by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or remote unmanned vehicles (ROVs). There are very few protocols for ad hoc mobile UWSNs (AMUWSNs). Designing a protocol for AMUWSN is quite challenging because of continuous random movement of the sensor nodes. In addition to random movement, the challenges to design a routing protocol for AMUWSN are more demanding than terrestrial ad hoc networks due to acoustic communications, which has large propagation delay in water. In this article, we present a self-organized ad hoc mobile (SOAM) routing protocol for AMUWSN. The sensor nodes may need to communicate with each other to the gateway (GW). The protocol, which we also refer to as SOAM, is a reactive, self-configuring, and self-organizing cluster-based routing protocol that uses received signal strength (RSS) for distance estimation. A beacon (BCN) packet will be sent by the GW, which will traverse through all the cluster heads (CHs) to form forwarding paths between the GW and the CHs. The ordinary sensor nodes (OSNs) will select the CHs every time they intend to forward a packet based on the BCN and they will receive from CHs. The formation of the forwarding path between the GW and the CHs and the selection CHs by OSN is explained in <xref ref-type="sec" rid="sec4" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Section IV</xref> .

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.

Intelligent Decision Based Route Selection and Maintenance Approach Using AOMDV in VANET

Abstract: Vehicle Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a dynamic network with a variety of applications in intelligent transport systems. There are several routing protocols for establishing paths between sending and receiving nodes. AODV is a reactive routing protocol that broadcasts a route request to all adjacent nodes, which forward the request to their neighbors. This process helps select the path from sender to receiver. The AODV protocol is the best routing protocol when you have a large number of communicating nodes. In this study, AODV and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) techniques are applied to transfer data. Ant colony optimization algorithm is applied considering the initial coordinates of each node. Paths established using reactive routing protocols are likely to congest the network and also consume large amounts of network bandwidth. This research is based on using a multicast approach to establish a path from source to destination to reduce the potential for network congestion. It generates the shortest route and achieves higher throughput, less packet loss, and less delay than existing protocols.

Performance study of reactive routing protocol in wildfire detection using mobile ad-hoc network

The routing protocols play an important role in creating routes and sending packets between sensor nodes. There are many methods in the literature that presented and applied several protocols in various domains. However, there is a lack of using routing protocols in the detection of wildfire. Moreover, most methods have used a single number of sensor nodes, where there is a need to investigate the routing protocol based on different simulation parameters such as the number of sensor nodes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a type of reactive routing protocol that is named Location Aided Routing (LAR). The simulation of LAR protocol has been conducted based on a various number of sensor nodes in order to deeply study and investigate the LAR protocol in the detection of wildfire. In addition, different performance metrics are used for evaluating the performance of the LAR protocol. In the simulation, the performance of LAR protocol shows promising results in the wildfire detection.

Investigation of Route Request Retries of AODV Routing Protocol in a Linear Wireless Ad Hoc Network

AODV is a reactive routing protocol that sets up routes between source and destination nodes as and whenneeded. The performance of AODV protocol depends on the choice of certain parameters including route requestretries which is, by default, set as two in the corresponding RFC. In the present work, the effect of Route RequestRetries (RRR) on a set of performance metrics viz. Normalized Routing Load (NRL), Average End-to-End Delay(AEED), Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Throughput has been investigated for a linear ad hoc network of fivenodes. Three different scenarios have been investigated wherein middle node is made to remain stationary, mobilewith low mobility and mobile with high mobility. Mobility of the middle node is found to be having significanteffect on the performance of such linear ad hoc networks. RRR has no influence on the performance of linear adhoc network of stationary nodes. However, RRR is having significant effect on the performance of linear ad hocnetwork if a node is made mobile. Performance of such linear ad hoc network is also affected by the choice ofduration of simulation.

Interoperable, adaptable, information exchange in NATO coalition operations

Abstract This paper summarises our work on policy-enabled inter-network routing for mobile networks and adapting information services to available networking resources in tactical networks. The work shows promise; both the policy routing and adaptive service infrastructure were part of successful interoperability trials in the Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXercise (CWIX) in 2021. This paper highlights our findings, how our work can support interoperability in NATO, and represents an enabler for future coalition operations. Although promising, the work involves research and concept development, and so, we anticipate its timeframe for seeing actual operational use as likely 3–5 years from now, typically targeting future developments within Federated Mission Networking (FMN). In our work, we have shown that we can build a federated mobile network by using a reactive routing protocol that supports policy routing in a network overlay for use in a coalition. Further, we have shown that we can leverage network-level information at the application level, through a so-called cross-layer optimization (CLO) approach. The CLO approach leverages a well-defined format, and we found that this format promotes interoperability and can be used in a multi-national setting. Since our work is experimental, we have also identified some shortcomings for future work.

Innovative Technique to Detect and Prevent Malicious Nodes in AOMDV against Blackhole Attacks in MANET for Increase the Network Efficiency

The Ad hoc on-demand multipath distance vector (AOMDV) routing protocol is one type of reactive routing protocol used in MANET. It is designed on top of the AODV routing protocol, so it utilizes the features of the AODV protocol. The MANET is a wireless ad hoc network without any physical infrastructure; all nodes can be moved across the network, and connections are made between them as needed simply with the help of RREQ, RREP, and RERR packets. Because the network is dynamic, nodes can quickly join and depart anytime. So far, no security threats have been caused by this feature. The blackhole attack is one type of active and dangerous attack in MANET. In this attack, the attackers use the AOMDV flaw to demonstrate their bad intent, causing data loss and decreasing network performance. Many studies have been done on various detection and prevention methods to prevent blackhole attacks. But it still goes on. To improve network performance against black hole attacks, this study offers a dynamic threshold value with multiple paths technique approach on AOMDV; it will be demonstrated in 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.

Development of a model for detecting network traffic anomalies in distributed wireless ad hoc networks

Mobile ad hoc networks are one of the promising directions of the edge computing technology and they are used in various applications, in particular, in the development of intelligent transport systems. A feature of mobile ad hoc networks lies in the constantly changing dynamic network topology, as a result of which it is necessary to use reactive routing protocols when transmitting packets between nodes. Mobile ad hoc networks are vulnerable to cyber-attacks, so there is a need to develop measures to identify network threats and develop rules for responding to them based on machine learning models. The subject of this study is the development of a dynamic model for detecting network traffic anomalies in wireless distributed ad hoc networks. Within the framework of this study, methods and algorithms of data mining and machine learning were applied. The proposed approach to traffic monitoring in wireless distributed ad hoc networks consists in the implementation of two stages: initial traffic analysis to identify anomalous events and subsequent in-depth study of cybersecurity incidents to classify the type of attack. Within the framework of this approach, the corresponding models are constructed based on ensemble methods of machine learning. A comparative analysis and selection of the most efficient machine learning algorithms and their optimal hyperparameters has been carried out. In this paper, a formalization of the traffic anomaly detection model in distributed wireless ad hoc networks is carried out, the main quantitative metrics of network performance are identified, a generalized algorithm for detecting traffic anomalies in mobile ad hoc networks is presented, and an experimental study of the network segment simulation is carried out from the point of view of performance degradation during the implementation of various network attack scenarios. Network distributed denial of service attacks and cooperative blackhole attacks have the greatest negative impact on the performance of the mobile ad hoc network segment. In addition, the network simulation results were used to build a machine learning model to detect anomalies and classify types of attacks. The results of a comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms showed that the use of the LightGBM method is the most effective for detecting network traffic anomalies with an accuracy of 91 %, and for determining directly the type of attack being carried out with an accuracy of 90 %. The proposed approach for network anomalies detection through the use of trained traffic analysis models makes it possible to identify the considered types of attacks in due time. The future development direction of this research is the consideration of new scenarios for the emergence of network attacks and online additional training of the constructed identification models. The developed software tool for detecting network traffic anomalies in distributed mobile ad hoc networks can be used for any type of wireless ad hoc networks.

Effect of change of Antenna Model with the Variation of Pause Time for Reactive and Hybrid Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

The collection of the many mobile nodes forming a short lived infrastructure with the help of any centralized administration. Since there's a random and dynamic modification in topology due to the quality of host, so the requirement for a study dynamic routing protocol is needed. Mobile ad-hoc network have the attributes like wireless affiliation, continuously dynamic topology, distributed operation and simple deployment. It establishes a short lived affiliation wherever nodes will be part of or leave the network at any time. Communication takes place by routing protocols in effective and economical manner in wireless network. Economical protocols are accustomed forward information packets while not a lot of packet loss. The target of the present paper is to boost the performance of the reactive and hybrid routing protocols with different directional antenna i.e. Omni and Pattern antenna with variation of pause time. The performance metrics in the research paper is PDR, NRL, Throughput and Routing Overhead.

Analysis on Performance Matrices of Routing protocols of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract: An ad-hoc network is a local area network which has been constructed to connect the one or more devices accordingly. It is a cluster of cellular mobile nodes that are collected with one-another, which form a transitory network, which means to form a temporary structure and there is no need of any permanent support. However, it will attach all nodes with the use of cellular network structure. At compile time, if there is any problem occur that will harm the network, than it can modify the channel from one node to another node. Therefore, because of greatly effective conditions to make networks in very difficult. To avoid these conditions that will harm the network, some protocols are introduced which includes the reactive routing protocols, pro-active routing protocols, cluster- based routing protocol, a hybrid-based routing protocol, Ad- hoc on demand distance routing protocol, optimized link state routing. This review paper gives the performance analysis of routing protocols based on their properties, characteristics, functions, and their shortcomings.

Multimedia Traffic Transmission using MAODV and M-MAODV Routing Protocols over Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

Many applications of mobile ad-hoc networks like conferencing, handling emergency situations, military operations require the multicast routing. Moreover, in such applications there is a demand for multimedia traffic such as audio/video calls or audio/video conferencing. For mobile ad-hoc environments, it is accepted that the on-demand reactive routing protocol AODV has become default. Moreover, to get the benefits of using a single protocol for both unicast and multicast routing, in this work, the multicast routing protocol MAODV (multicast extension of AODV) has been considered and its performance is observed for CBR, VoIP and video data traffics. Since to accommodate multimedia traffic, a routing protocol demands for stringent QoS requirements in terms of delay, jitter and packet losses; the performance of the protocol is measured in terms of QoS performance metrics such as average delay, average jitter and packet delivery ratio. Further, a modified version of MAODV (called M-MAODV) is taken and its performance is also evaluated for multimedia traffic. A fair comparison of MAODV and M-MAODV protocols is achieved through the use of same network conditions for the evaluation. From the results, the improved values of delay, jitter and packet delivery ratio have been observed for M-MAODV irrespective of node speeds and for all data traffic types.

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 Routing Delay Predication Based on Packet Loss and Explicit Delay Acknowledgement for Congestion Control in MANET

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks congestion control and prevention are demanding because of network node mobility and dynamic topology. Congestion occurs primarily due to the large traffic volume in the case of data flow because the rate of inflow of data traffic is higher than the rate of data packets on the node. This alteration in sending rate results in routing delays and low throughput. The Rate control is a significant concern in streaming applications, especially in wireless networks. The TCP friendly rate control method is extensively recognized as a rate control mechanism for wired networks, which is effective in minimizing packet loss (PL) in the event of congestion. In this paper, we propose a routing delay prediction based on PL and Explicit Delay Acknowledgement (EDA) mechanism for data rate and congestion control in MANET to control data rate to minimize the loss of packets and improve the throughput. The experiment is performed over a reactive routing protocol to reduce the packet loss, jitter, and improvisation of throughput.

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.
