Bittu Ann Mathew, Sneha Sebastian, Varsha Sabu, Sumy Joseph . Trusted Load Balancing Mechanism for MANET. Advanced Computing and Communication Techniques for High Performance Applications. ICACCTHPA2014, 3 (February 2015), 12-13.
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a self-configuring, infrastructure less network of wireless mobile devices. Malicious nodes are those nodes that create attacks like denial of service attacks, impersonation attacks, etc. Due to increase in communication in the network, overloading of nodes may happen. MANET is also vulnerable to node overloading due to malicious nodes. In this paper, an efficient load balancing mechanism has been proposed. This method has been designed using Trust Based Malicious Node Detection (TMND). Here load balancing is performed by rejecting the malicious nodes below a certain trust cutoff value. The system has been analyzed by calculation of throughput, delay and load.
