Abstract:
Cooperative wireless communication has been proposed as a way to improve channel capacity, robustness, reliability, delay, and coverage. Multiple research works have been done to support cooperative communication in the medium access control (MAC) layer. Synergy MAC is one of the MAC protocols that support cooperative communication using cooperative relay nodes. In this paper, some security attacks against control packets of Synergy MAC are identified and the potential security issues that arise in Synergy MAC due to these attacks are also discussed.
