Abhishek Gupta, Amit Saxena . Detection and Prevention of Selfish node in MANET using Innovative Brain Mapping Function: Theoretical Model. International Journal of Computer Applications. 57, 12 ( November 2012), 17-20. DOI=10.5120/9167-3565
Mobile ad hoc networks are formed dynamically by an autonomous system of mobile nodes that are connected via wireless links without using an existing network infrastructure or centralized administration . As network is created on temporary basis that's why it is called adhoc network . In such network nodes have various limitation due to its adhoc nature. Hence resources like power , computing ability, battery are very precious in such type of networks. So some nodes decided not to cooperate with other nodes and simply aim to save its resources to the maximum while using the network to farward its own packet these type of node are called "Selfish Nodes" this problem is very common in adhoc network due to its configuration setup. In this paper ,we present a new mechanism that solves the problem of selfish node theoretically with the help of Innovative Brain Mapping function Model.
