Design and Development of Energy Efficient Routing Framework for Mobile Ad Hoc Network with Unique Feature of Agent Based Intrusion Detection and Prevention Mechanism

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network consists of mobile nodes that creates autonomous and newlineinfrastructure less network without any central administration. Mobile node creates newlineself configuring network, these are independent, free to travel in any direction and newlinecommunicate with each other using their transmitting range. Mobile nodes have the newlinecapability like router in which they can independently forward and receive packets. newlineThis is widely deployed on various aspects such as at the time of crisis, uncertain newlineactivity, military or rescue operations, disaster recovery and distributed collaborative newlinecomputing, where node can create multi-hop route and inter-agent communication is newlineachieved through packet transmission. Some issues of mobile ad-hoc network that are newlineused to enhance the performance of the network, namely: medium access control, newlinerouting, multicasting, transport layer protocol, quality of service provisioning, selforganization, newlinesecurity, energy management, scalability, addressing and service newlinediscovery. Since MANET provides an open dynamic environment so establishing newlinereliable, secure and energy efficient route becomes more significant challenges of newlinenetwork. newlineIn this thesis, an energy efficient routing approach (EE-RA) proposes to reduce the newlineenergy consumption of node and control overhead respectively as well as improve the newlinenetwork lifetime. Proposed approach optimizes the hello interval of AODV routing newlinethat reduces the frequent need of hello messages. This is achieved by taking energy newlineand mobility of node as input to adaptive fuzzy inference system which gives the newlineresultant optimal hello interval. Moreover, performance is analyzed in terms of newlinenetwork overhead, end-to-end delay, hello message fraction, average energy newlineconsumption, packet delivery ratio and throughput. newlineFurthermore, this thesis proposes a fuzzy based secure architecture (FBSA) that newlineadopts a rule based fuzzy inference system to classify the mobile nodes and to identify newlinethe malicious activities.
