Neighbour Verification and Discovery in MANETS
Medikonda Asha Kiran · 2014
Information about the Location is an important resource in mobile networks. This information may be used by a number of protocols and applications. The knowledge of location of the nodes in a MANET is essential in these applications. The correctness of node locations is an important issue in mobile networks, and it becomes particularly challenging in the presence of adversaries aiming at harming the system. In Mobile ad-Hoc networks, routes may be disconnected due to dynamic movement of nodes. Such networks are more vulnerable to both internal and external attacks due to presence of adversarial nodes. These nodes affect the performance of routing protocol in ad-hoc networks. It is essential to identify the neighbours in a MANET. The proposed scheme identifies a neighbour and verifies its position effectively.
