routing misbehavior in MANETs
no vote
We study routing misbehavior in MANETs
(Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) in this paper. In general, routing protocols for
MANETs are designed based on the assumption that all participating nodes are
fully cooperative. However, due to the open structure and scarcely available
battery-based energy, node misbehaviors may exist. One such routing misbehavior
is that some selfish nodes will participate in the route discovery and
maintenance processes but refuse to forward data packets. In this paper, we
propose the 2ACK scheme that serves as an add-on technique for routing schemes
to detect routing misbehavior and to mitigate their adverse effect. The main
idea of the 2ACK scheme is to send two-hop acknowledgment packets in the
opposite direction of the routing path. In order to reduce additional routing
overhead, only a fraction of the received data packets are acknowledged in the
2ACK scheme. Analytical and simulation results are prese
