Quadratic Route Factor Estimation Technique for Routing Attack Detection in Wireless Adhoc Networks

The modern wireless adhoc networks has more impact of routing attacks due to the topology changes and the problem of routing attack detection has been performed in number of approaches. The earlier methods suffer with the problem of poor detection accuracy and the performance of mitigation approaches. To overcome the issue of routing attack detection, an novel quadratic route factor estimation technique has been proposed in this paper. The method maintains route details and network information at each time frame based on different quarters of geographic network region. The method splits the region of entire network into four quarters and for each quadratic region, a time based snapshot and route details are stored. Based on the route trace and snapshot of the network the routing attack is mitigated in different locations of the entire network. The method selects a few set of nodes in the network to perform the detection of routing attack where the selection of node is performed based on various parameters. The distributed detection of routing attack increases the performance of the network and improves the throughput ratio also. Similarly for the detection of routing attack, the method uses the snapshot and route traces with the help of packet information.
