MANET is a promising networking technology for tactical network. The behavioural characteristics of MANET like self-forming/healing and bandwidth efficiency mainly depends on the design of underlying MAC protocol. The protocol also plays an important role to meet the dynamics of tactical environment which is characterized by arbitrary and dynamic node topologies along with continuously changing...

In the field of networks, the Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are one of the best and lively mobile networks which are capable of shaping when the infrastructure of pre-existing communication is not present. And in further to mobility, the restricted resources like storage space, bandwidth and battery power are used to categorize a MANET. The primary theory in MANETs is that the transitional no...

To characterize the behavior of a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), the Brownian mobility model is studied, where the random coordinators of mobile nodes are modeled by the Brownian motion. Based on the Brownian mobility model, the average relative speed of mobile nodes in a MANET cluster and the expected value as well as the variance of link lifetime are derived for node pairs. The expected link ...

MANET is an independent and infrastructureless network comprising of self configurable mobile nodes connected via wireless links. MANET is susceptible to various attacks because of some loopholes present in MANET like dynamic topology, zero central administration, limited physical security etc. MANET is prone to numerous malicious attacks one such attack among them is SYBIL ATTACK. In Sybil att...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a system that is demonstrating a trend towards a fully distributed system and provides mobile computing capabilities. In order to increase the capability of the fault-tolerance and reliability of MANET, the Byzantine Agreement problem is revisited. A protocol for achieving the task of agreement between processors in a MANET is proposed in this paper. The propo...

Wireless Networked Control Systems (WNCS), specially, WNCS over Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) have become an interesting area in research community. However, designing a successful WNCS over MANET brings new challenges to the researchers. The motivations of this paper are to identify the design issues, highlighting recent researches for the issues, to establish guidelines for successful impleme...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are infrastructure free networks, temporary in nature and without any centralized authority. These unique characteristics coupled with the increased vulnerability of MANET for security attacks demand an immediate solution for securing the ad hoc network, prior to its full-fledged deployment in commercial and military applications. So far, most of the research in M...

The area of Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) has already been a topic of attention from past decade among the research community owing to its potential communication advantages as well as issues associated with it. However, the cases of inter-domain routing in the MANET have challenges furthermore compared to conventional MANET system. Border gateway protocol cannot be applied to support inter-dom...

-Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) performance is affected by a number of factors, eg. speed, node density. In this paper we will focus on the effect of constrained mobility on the performance of the MANET protocol. Experiments were carried out to measure the performance of MANET protocols in two mobility patterns: random waypoint and Metropolitan Grid(M-Grid). The latter reflects the mobility pat...
