In recent years, the use of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) has been widespread in many applications, including some mission critical applications, and as such security has become one of the major concerns in MANETs. A mobile ad hoc network is set up with a group of mobile wireless nodes without the use of any dedicated routers or base stations. Each node acts as an end node as well as a router...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of communication devices or nodes that wish to communicate without any fixed infrastructure and pre-determined organization of available links. The nodes in MANET themselves are responsible for dynamically discovering other nodes to communicate. Security has become a primary concern in order to provide protected communication between mobile nodes in...

Ensuring security in Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a challenging issue. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are networks designed to operate in more volatile and rapidly changing environment. Establishing MANET security is entirely different from the traditional methods of providing network security. The two main approaches that are widely used in securing MANET are proactive and reactive. The first atte...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile wireless nodes connected dynamically without any preexisting infrastructure. A fuzzy QoS controllers based priority scheduler for mobile ad hoc networks is presented to determine the priority of the packets. The performance of this scheduler is studied using NS2 and evaluated in terms of quantitative metrics, such as packet deliver...

Mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes forming a temporary network without using any centralized access point, infrastructure, or centralized administration. Till now wireless networking community designed hundreds of new routing protocols targeting the various scenarios of this design space. The paper present taxonomy of the mobile ad-hoc routing protocols and ...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes, which dynamically form a temporary network, without using any infrastructure like wireless access points or base-stations. There are many real life applications based on Quality of Service (QoS) support provided by MANETs. But QoS provisioning in MANETs is a very challenging problem when compared to wired IP networks keeping in vi...

A Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) is a self organizing and adaptive in nature. A MANET consists of a set of mobile participants who must communicate, collaborate, and interact to complete an assigned mission. The challenges of MANETs are to provide wireless, high-capacity, secure, and networked connectivity. Node mobility in MANET causes frequent changes of the network topology. Routing protocols...

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a multi-hop temporary autonomous system of mobile nodes with wireless transmitters and receivers without the aid of Pre-established network infrastructure. These networks provide dynamically changing network connectivity owing to mobility. The mobility model represents the moving behaviour of each mobile node in the MANET that should be realistic. It acts as a c...

The ability to discover services in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a major prerequisite. Cluster based cross layer intelligent service discovery for MANET (CBISD) is cluster based architecture, caching of semantic details of services and intelligent forwarding using network layer mechanisms. The cluster based architecture using semantic knowledge provides scalability and accuracy. Also, the m...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANETs) is collection of mobile/semi mobile nodes with no existing pre-established infrastructure, forming a temporary network. Mobile Ad hoc Networks are highly dynamic networks. Quality of Service (QoS) routing in such networks is usually limited by the network breakage due to either node mobility or energy depletion of the mobile nodes. Another issue that effects the Q...
