Energy efficient clustering and secure routing in mobile Ad Hoc networks

Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET) acquires a flat network newlineinfrastructure. In MANET architecture every computer or node means any newlinedevice is a router as well as end host. The nodes or devices In the MANET the newlinenodes or devices architecture is in general autonomous. It has a dynamic newlinetopology architecture which highly promotes mobility. Three Dimensional newlineMobile AdHoc Network (3D MANET) is a type of point- to-point newlinecommunication network that consist of group nodes having three coordinates , newline, . In 3D MANET, mobile nodes move randomly over the network with 3D newlinespace. Nodes are communicated through a wireless link. The primary benefits of newlineMANET are following. It does not have any infrastructure, and have a newlineCentralized administration to manage all nodes in the network. In 3D MANET, newlinenodes are deployed in flexible manner, and thus it provides support for various newlineapplication areas like underwater mobile nodes communicating with other nodes newlinein cooperative way (ocean monitoring and control), sky aircrafts, modern newlinewelfare, unmanned aerial vehicles, event (disasters) detection and so on. newlineIn general, achieving QoS in MANET is a widely studied research newlinetopic which must be analyzed before the discussion of 3D MANET. Some of newlineimportant QoS metrics are Packet Delivery Delay, Packet Received and newlineTransmitted Ratio, Throughput, Network Lifetime and Energy Consumption. newlineSeveral works were explored in 2D MANET, which does not address the above newlinementioned issues and thus this thesis is fully based on 3D MANET and analyze newlinethe performance of QoS over the 3D network environment, More specific, the newlinethesis focuses on an energy efficient clustering routing, trust management and newlinesecure routing (attacks mitigation) by implementing novel hybrid algorithms for newlineeach operation. newline newline
