Detection of Selfish and Malicious Node in Wireless Mesh Network Using Pana Protocol

2 Abstract: Wireless Mesh Network is one of emerging technology of the next generation networks. All the routing protocols in WMNs assume all nodes to be co-operative in forwarding each other's packets. However, a node might try to save its energy by dropping others packet. The proposed mesh network is divided into clusters which reduce the traffic congestion to the gateway. Each cluster has cluster head which performs collection of node details and also monitors the behaviour of each node. The detection phase is used to find selfish nodes in WMNs. Authenticating the node in the network is a key point of network security. Using Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access authentication, nodes in wireless mesh network are authenticated to detect malicious node.
