Energy Optimization and Dynamic Adaptive Secure Routing for MANET and Sensor Network in IoT

Force-Based Self-Organizing MANET/FANET with a UAV Swarm

“…In the approach presented in this article, we focus primarily on realizing and maintaining a connection between all clients in the field and a central data sink/command center/network root. As well as offering a communication infrastructure for personnel in the field to connect to their command center/dispatch, MANETs can also be used to provide point-to-point connectivity, e.g., Internet of Things (IoT) applications [29,30] where smart devices communicate with one another [31] to, e.g., collectively manage their demand profile. IoT devices, whether in a home automation setting or an industrial environment, often need to communicate and collaborate dynamically [29,31].…”

“…IoT devices, whether in a home automation setting or an industrial environment, often need to communicate and collaborate dynamically [29,31]. Especially when some of the IoT devices are mobile [30] or only sporadically active, MANETs can dynamically adapt to the applications' needs effectively [5,29]. This can be achieved by, e.g., allowing devices to form and manage their own networks as they come into and move out of each other's communication range.…”

“…Additionally, as the scale and complexity of MANETs increase-for instance, in a large IoT deployment-so too do the challenges associated with network management and security [29]. Protecting against threats and maintaining privacy in such a distributed, decentralized environment is inherently complex [8,29].…”

Protecting against threats and maintaining privacy in such a distributed, decentralized environment is inherently complex [8,29]. Furthermore, network management protocols [33] need to be capable of dealing with the potential for node failures, traffic congestion, and other disruptions [12].…”
