Intrusion detection system is one of the possible solutions to timely detect the intrusions and alarm for appropriate action. So far many intrusion detection systems have been proposed for ad-hoc networks, however due to the different characteristics, such intrusion detection systems cannot perform well in wireless mesh networks environment. In this paper, we propose a new framework of intrusio...

Wireless Mesh technology has emerged as a new technology for next-generation wireless networking to provide a wide variety of applications that cannot be supported directly by other wireless networks. With recent emergence of standards, wireless solutions are ready to be deployed in building automation networks. For both new structures and old, wireless networking is expected to improve existin...

IEEE 802.15.4 protocols are gaining interests in both industrial and research fields as candidate technologies for (WPAN) Wireless Personal Area Networks, (WSN) Wireless Sensor Network and control Wireless Networks applications. This paper analyzes multiple topologies such as Cluster-Tree, Mesh and Star in various scenarios to compare different performance metrics (Throughput, traffic sent, tra...

Recently, multi-radio mesh technology in wireless networks has been under extensive research. This is because of its potential of overcoming the inherent wireless multi-hop throughput, scalability and latency problems caused by the half-duplex nature of the IEEE 802.11. The concept of deploying multiple radios in wireless network access points (APs) has shown a promising way to enhance the chan...

As interest in wireless mesh networks grows, security challenges, e.g., intrusion detection, become of paramount importance. Traditional solutions for intrusion detection assign full IDS responsibilities to a few selected nodes. Recent results, however, have shown that a mesh router cannot reliably perform full IDS functions because of limited resources (i.e., processing power and memory). Coop...

by extending wireless networks and because of their different nature, some attacks appear in these networks which did not exist in wired networks. security is a serious challenge for actual implementation in wireless networks. due to lack of the fixed infrastructure and also because of security holes in routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks, these networks are not protected against attack...
