Energy Efficient and Reputation Based CDS Model for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) face a number of challenges, in particular due to its energy consumption and dynamic network topology. A self organizing framework can overcome the problem of changing topology and dynamic behavior of mobile nodes. Such a framework can be created by using connected dominating set (CDS). But the choice of misbehaving node as CDS will affect the network performance. A misbehaving node may disturb the network by denying packet forwarding. In this paper we propose a heuristic for selecting CDS nodes in terms of energy and reputation factor. It identifies only well behaving and good quality nodes as dominant nodes for the construction of CDS.

Proposing a Hybrid Topological Organization for Non-Misbehaving Nodes with Optimal Path Selection Using Game-Theoretic Approach

“…Since energy can't be supplanted or making substitutes is troublesome while communication happens. So, it should be utilized as ideally as could be expected, and energy conservation gives regard consideration by analysts today (Feng et al, 2012;Sukumaran et al, 2013).…”
