Exponential Reliability Coefficient based Reputation Mechanism for isolating selfish nodes in MANETs

Abstract

In mobile ad hoc networks, cooperation among active mobile nodes is considered to play a vital role in reliable transmission of data. But, the selfish mobile nodes present in an ad hoc environment refuse to forward neighbouring nodes' packet for conserving its own energy. This intentional selfish behaviour drastically reduces the degree of cooperation maintained between the mobile nodes. Hence, a need arises for devising an effective mechanism which incorporates both energy efficiency and reputation into account for mitigating selfish behaviour in MANETs. In this paper, we propose an Exponential Reliability Coefficient based reputation Mechanism (ERCRM) which isolates the selfish nodes from the routing path based on Exponential Reliability Coefficient (ExRC). This reliability coefficient manipulated through exponential failure rate based on moving average method highlights the most recent past behaviour of the mobile nodes for quantifying its genuineness. From the simulation results, it is evident that, the proposed ERCRM approach outperforms the existing Packet Conservation Monitoring Algorithm (PCMA) and Spilt Half Reliability Coefficient based Mathematical Model (SHRCM) in terms of performance evaluation metrics such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, total overhead and control overhead. Further, this ERCRM mechanism has a successful rate of 28% in isolating the selfish nodes from the routing path. Furthermore, it also aids in framing the exponential threshold point of detection as 0.4, where a maximum number of selfish nodes are identified when compared to the existing models available in the literature.

Gaussian Trust Factor-based Grey Decision Making Technique (GTF-GDMT) for Node Cooperation Enforcement in MANETs

“…The performance of the proposed GTF-GDMT and the benchmarked FS-INDISM [17], SREEF [19] and FRCES [16] approaches are evaluated based onthe simulation conducted using ns-2.34 network simulator. In this simulation process, the MANET architecture is supported through the extensive use of AODV protocol [21][22][23]. This AODV protocol is used as the base protocol for the complete routing process as it is considered as one of the most widely renowned reactive protocols over which dynamic decision process can be achieved.…”

“…If the attribute considered for observation refers to the cost attribute, then the cost incurred in data dissemination need to be reduced based on Eqs. (22) and (23). Step 7: The degree of likelihood is calculated among the mobile node candidates under comparison and the referenced candidate presented in Eq.…”

Trust-Enabled Energy Effective Optimal Framework for Detection of Intrusions in the Network Using AI Scheme

“…The suggested framework is able to leverage the ability for conceptual probabilistic modeling and can also be used to resist maximal number / threats in the wireless network. [11] The Exponential Reliability Credibility Mechanism (ERCRM) has been developed, in which the autonomous nodes are isolated using an exponential reliability coefficient, from the routing route. A value dependent on the matrix for increasing network protection and stability is expected in the scheme.…”

An Improved Integrated Energy and Trust-based Routing Mechanism for MANETs

“…Further, an Exponential Reliability Coefficient-based Selfishness Detection Scheme (ERC-SDS) was proposed using the past historical data derived from the mobile nodes either through direct and indirect monitoring process [12,15]. This ERC-SDS aided in devising two different upper and lower thresolds for facilitating the process of selfish node detection.…”
