T Secured - destination Sequenced Distance Vector ( SSDV ) Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad - hoc Networks

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a group of wireless mobile nodes dynamically shaping a provisional network devoid of the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized management. In MANETs, security is the major challenge due to the dynamic topology which is because of the mobility of the nodes. In this paper, we propose a design and develop a secure methodology incorporated with the routing mechanism without having any compromise on the performance metrics viz., throughput, and packet delivery fraction. Not only just improving the throughput and packet delivery fraction it will also reduce the end-to-end delay and MAC overhead along with reduced packet loss. We name it as Secured-destination Sequenced Distance Vector (SSDV) routing. It adopts several features of the already existing protocol named Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing (DSDV). The simulation results prove that our proposed protocol SSDV outperforms DSDV in all performance aspects.
