Providing anonymous communications in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is an effective countermeasure against malicious traffic analysis. This paper presents AOS, an Anonymous Overlay System for MANETs, which provides provably strong source and destination anonymity under a rather strong adversary model. AOS differs significantly from previous anonymous communication systems for MANETs mainly in...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a set of mobile nodes which over a shared wireless medium communicate with each other without the presence of a predefined infrastructure or a central authority. [1]. The absence of a central management agency or a fixed infrastructure is a key feature of MANETs. Security issues in MANET are a challenging task nowadays. MANETs are vulnerable to passive attack...

Mobile Adhoc network(MANETS) are a set of mobile nodes that form temporary network without aid of any existing network infrastructure or central access point. The nodes communicate with each other by interchange of packets ,which for those nodes not in wireless range goes hop by hop. So lack of defined central authority the routing process becomes a challenging task there by leaving MANETS vuln...

Routing in MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) is a very hard task due to their dynamic topology and their decentralized nature. Moreover, limited-energy resources make both nodes and network lifetime among the main issues to be considered in MANETs’ routing protocols design. This paper discusses many aspects related to routing in MANETs and presents MEA-DSR, a new energy-aware routing protocol. A ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) faces various challenges in routing. Many routing protocols has been evaluated for better performance in terms of delays, throughputs, load balancing and congestion control in multipath routing which is widely used in MANET. The mobility of nodes allows nodes to enter and leave the network dynamically. More Attention is given to the multipath transmission capabil...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANETs) consists of mobile nodes that collaborate with each other using wireless link to route both data and control packets. They are basically characterized by the use of dynamically changing topology, decentralized routing mechanism and lack of existing infrastructure. MANETs can work correctly if participating nodes cooperate in routing. In this paper we propose a n...

The mobile nodes in MANETs dynamically change their topology and hence require an efficient mechanism to communicate with each other. There are number of routing protocols anticipated for MANET environment categorized as Location based routing protocols and Non-Location based routing protocols. In MANETs, Location based routing protocols are preferred as they are more efficient in routing compa...

Mobile Ad-Hoc network (MANET) is a type of communication network which is used for data communication between a mobile nodes using wireless channels. Clustering has evolved as an important research topic in MANETs as it improves the system performance of large MANETs. Clustering is a process that divides the network into nodes groups, called clusters. Each cluster has a Cluster Head (CH) as coo...

MANET stands for Mobile Ad Hoc Network. The Ad Hoc network that is used for mobile communication is called MANET. The MANETS are used when the user is moving. Because MANET does not depends on fixed infrastructure. Wireless networks are used to connect with different networks in MANETs. Security is more critical in wireless communication when compared to the wired communication. So the security...

Peer-to-peer systems have gained a lot of attention as information sharing systems for the wide-spread exchange of resources and voluminous information among thousands of users. However, current peer-to-peer information sharing systems work mostly on wired networks. With the growing number of communication-equipped mobile devices that can self-organize into infrastructure-less communication pla...
