Abstract:
MANETS are vulnerable to many types of attacks. Moreover, many challenges arise in the MANET management, such as dynamic network topology, limited bandwidth, storage capacity, battery life and processing power. In order to ensure high network performance, an important function of network management is monitoring. It consists in observing the operational states of the connected mobile nodes and controlling the application quality of service and prevent attacks. Indeed, malicious participants may disrupt the system through altering the collected data, reporting false measurements, defining new management policies or flooding false alarms. In this paper, an epidemic model is developed to ensure an efficient MANET monitoring. It will be useful in various contexts, to provide for instance design parameters of the MANET such that the number of malicious nodes always remains under control. Theoretical modeling and analysis of various situations are then provided, and simulations results on real case scenario are proposed.
