Abstract
Abstract: Data packet dropping misbehaviour is a serious
threat in ad hoc networks. The motivation of such behaviour
is either to take illegal advantage and preserve resources
(selfish) or to intentionally cause harm (malicious) to some
victims. Most of the existing solutions to solve such
misbehaviour rely on the watchdog technique, which suffers
from many drawbacks, particularly when using the power
control technique. To overcome this problem with a
moderate communication overhead, this paper introduces a
new Sessions-based Misbehaviour Detection Framework
(SMDF) for detecting misbehaving nodes that drop data
packets in stationary wireless ad hoc network. It consists of
three components, the detection component in which each
node monitors its direct neighbours with respect to
forwarding data packets of a traffic session in the network,
and the Decision component, in which direct neighbouring
nodes decide whether the monitored node misbehaved or
not and finally the isolation component where the guilty
node will be penalized. Simulations results show that SMDF
is scalable and able to detect the misbehaviour with high
accuracy at low communication overhead and low energy
consumption compared to the existing approaches.
