Security Aware Routing Protocol for Hybrid Wireless Network (SARP-HWNs) via Trust Enhanced Mechanism

Abstract

A hybrid wireless network handles both ad hoc networks and infrastructure networks, these networks are affected by malicious attacks which affect the routing by packet drops, modifications and selective forwarding. These attacks lead to the link failure in a network. Link failures are the main reason for packet loss and network unreliability in these kinds of networks. Due to link failures, the life time of the network and the performance of routing path is affected. The previous security mechanisms for protecting wireless networks are not sufficient for hybrid networks. In this article, the authors propose a trust-based security model to enhance security factors in hybrid networks. The proposed routing protocols implemented in hybrid network platforms consist of different networks such as a fixed node for WLANs (wireless televisions, personal computers, printers, cellular, etc.) with zero mobility, a sensor node for WSNs with zero mobility, mobile nodes with movements considered MANETs, and nodes with high movements (vehicles) considered as VANETs. This article proposes routing protocols to avoid link failure in the current routing path and provide quick recovery, improve the throughput, reduce end to end delay, maximize the life time of routing path without affecting energy consumption and QoS/QoE while compared with other existing techniques.

Routing protocols for hybrid wireless networks: a brief review

“…The lifespan of the network, as well as the performance of the route, are both impacted by link failures. In 2019, Kumar and Mohideen [51], proposes (SARP-HWNs) routing protocols to minimize link failure in the present routing path and can provide quick recovery, enhance throughput, decrease end-to-end latency, optimize the lifetime of the routing path without compromising energy consumption, and QoS/QoE when compared to other existing strategies [52].…”

Qos and Defense Enhancement Using Block Chain for Fly Wireless Networks

“…Das et al [13] the paper provides a better area coverage for the adhoc network, by reducing the number of communications with the help of the triangulation technique, so as to reduce the battery usage to extend the network longevity and connectivity. Kumar et al [14] proposes a trust based security management Balaji, et al [15] the paper presents the dual authentication with the key management to enhance the security of the vehicular adhoc networks that is the subtype of the mobile adhoc network. The above security methods involve the security that does not provide a maximum transparency and traceability, further increasing the cost, so the paper aims in utilizing block chain based trust evaluation for the network, that scopes at providing with the maximum security with the additional features such as the transparency and traceability.…”

“…Though the network performance showed considerable improvement in the process of routing, its decentralized nature made it more prone to the various attacks that cause alteration in the messages, hacking of the information's, block the services, so on, due to their lack of secure boundary and central medium, the presence of the selfish nodes and the usual assumptions made as the nodes are co-operative and invulnerable [12] To face the above issues related to security in the fly networks, the communication networks were enriched with the intrusion detection system that are single and collaborative [1], so as to enhance the capability of the detection, and introduced secure routing [14] along with the watchdog and path rater [12] to analyze the misbehavior in the network, though the methods sounded to be promising they did not provide maximum traceability. Instead the methods proved to be very costly.…”
