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...

In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), a scheduling algorithm should operate in order to provide quality of service (QoS). QoS guarantees optimized performance of network in terms of less delay, higher throughput etc. Due to frequent change in topology of MANET, design of scheduling algorithm is quite difficult. This paper presents a survey of various scheduling techniques along with the parameter...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a group of wireless mobile devices or nodes that communicate with each other without any help of a pre-installed infrastructure and centralized access points. The mobility and the easy use of mobile devices have motivated researches, to develop MANET protocols to exploit a reliable communication facilities provided by these devices. There are number issues suc...

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...

The primary objective of this research work is to study and review the behavior of AODV, TORA and DSDV routing protocols of MANET. In this paper, we will first discuss the various MANET routing protocols and then simulate the environment used for analyzing, evaluating and implementing AODV, DSDV and TORA routing protocols in MANET. Performance of above said protocols will be analyzed based on P...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) have a set of unique challenges, particularly due to mobility of nodes, that need to be addressed to realize their full potentials. Because the mobile nodes of a MANET are free to move rapidly and arbitrarily, the network topology may change unexpectedly. This paper presents a decentralized approach to maintain the connectivity of a MANET using autonomous, intelli...

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...

Due to constrained resources, DDoS attack is one of the biggest threats to MANET. IP traceback technique is useful to defend against such type of attacks, since it can identify the attack sources. Several types of traceback schemes have been proposed for wired networks. Among all the existing schemes, probabilistic packet marking (PPM) scheme might be the most promising scheme for MANET. Howeve...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a self-configuring network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links to form an arbitrary topology without the use of existing infrastructure. Due to the nature of Unreliable Wireless medium Data Transfer is a major Problem in MANET and it lacks Security and Reliability of Data. Cryptographic techniques are commonly used for secure Data transmission wireless...

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a temporary network of mobile nodes where mobile nodes communicate with each other through wireless links with no fixed infrastructure and no centralized control. Each mobile node in such a scenario acts as both a router and host. Security is an important issue in the MANET environment because of its dynamic topology and limited range of each mobile host’s wirel...
