Routing and security in mobile ad hoc networks
Nikola Milanović, Miroslaw Malek, A. Davidson, Veljko M. Milutinović · Computer · 2004
Mobile ad hoc networks remove the dependence on a fixed network infrastructure by treating every available mobile node as an intermediate switch, thereby extending the range of mobile nodes well beyond that of their base transceivers. We present four manet routing algorithms along with a hybrid approach, discuss their advantages and disadvantages, and describe security problems inherent in such networks.
