Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecured Routing with Authentication in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksT. Guru Baskar, D. ManimegalaiA Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that dynamically forms a temporary network without any fixed infrastructure. Each node participates in the ad hoc routing protocol that helps it to discover multi-hop paths through the network to any node. Security challenges have become a primary concern for these networks due to their characteristics such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 May 2013 · 6,065 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Cost Enabled Cluster Based Multipath Routing Algorithm for Mobile Ad-Hoc NetworksM. Gomathi, G. RajendranProblem statement: This article proposes the selection of best paths in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) based on multipath routing with fuzzy cost in respect of the Fuzzy Cost Enabled Cluster based Routing (FCECR). Approach: By implementing FCECR, we have made changes to reduce the cost and route discovery overhead for the selection of best path from multipath routing from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 9 Aug 2012 · 7,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Anonymous Trust Based Routing Using Ant Colony OptimizationR. Kalpana, N. RengarajanProblem statement: Ad hoc networks are susceptible to malicious attacks through denial of services, traffic analysis and spoofing. The security of the ad hoc routing protocol depends upon encryption, authentication, anonymity and trust factors. End-to-end security of data is provided by encryption and authentication, topology information of the nodes can be obtained by studying traffic and routing data. This security … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 30 Jun 2012 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Radio Propagation Models on Ad Hoc Networks PerformancesA. Rhattoy, A. ZatniProblem statement: Wireless networks are characterized by a dynamic topology triggered by the nodes mobility. Thus, the wireless multi-hops connection and the channel do not have determinist behaviour such as: Interference or multiple paths. Moreover, the nodes’ invisibility makes the wireless channel difficult to detect. This wireless networks’ behaviour should be scrutinized. Approach: In our study, we mainly focus on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 2 Mar 2012 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fault Tolerant Congestion Aware Routing Protocol for Mobile Adhoc NetworksG. Rajkumar, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: The performance of ad hoc routing protocols will significantly degrade when there are faulty nodes in the network. Packet losses and bandwidth degradation are caused due to congestion and thus, time and energy is wasted during its recovery. The fault tolerant congestion aware routing protocol addresses these problems by exploring the network redundancy through multipath routing. Approach: In … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 23 Feb 2012 · 6,446 accessesView PDFCite
