Wireless Infrastructure less networks consist of wireless mobile nodes with heterogeneous and constrained resources, to establish internet connectivity regardless of the location. The applications the networks are disaster relief, health care and military. These applications are sensitive, and demands the reliable, and best quality of communication. Routing is one of the resources to enable the […]

Routing protocols developed in MANET by assumption that the nodes in the network are supportive, as the network is infrastructure less. But this consideration of routing protocols is always not trustworthy. The nodes do not supportive all the time and they act as misbehaving nodes by not following the routing protocols specifications. One such misbehaving […]

Mobile ad hoc networks is wireless infrastructure free networks. It consists of heterogeneous mobile nodes. These nodes are distributed in wireless communication area. The characteristics of the network are adaptation, autonomous and self-formation and distributed peer to peer network. Applications of the network are military, health care and disaster recovery. Characteristics and applications of MANET demands reliable […]

The underlying element that supports the device communication in the MANET is the wireless connection capability. Each node has the ability to communicate with other nodes via the creation of routing path. However, due to the fact that nodes in MANET are autonomous and the routing paths created are only based on current condition of […]
