Intruder Minimization Using Zombie Controller Agent in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Ad hoc wireless networks, particularly MANET, has gained widespread attention in the scientific community because of its widespread acceptance in everyday and real-life applications. However, MANET's routing performance is still hampered by decentralized communication patterns and dynamic route building between different types of mobile nodes, where infrastructure support is ineffective. Despite many research and advances in MANET technology, routing algorithms are still inefficient in terms of maximizing energy efficiency, maintaining robust security, and ensuring service quality (QoS). As a result, if energy consumption is higher and the security protocol is not robust, MANET's communication process and related components may be harmed. Any type of network flaw can lead to a slew of vulnerabilities and welcome a variety of invasions and attacks that can confuse routing processes and persuade nodes to agree to exhaust their complete energy. As a result, an effective mechanism is necessary.
