Incorporating trust and reputation in the DSR protocol for dependable routing

摘要: An ad-hoc network is formed when two or more wireless nodes agree to forward packets on behalf of each other. As the range such severely limited, mutually cooperate with their neighbours in order extend overall communication network. Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) one commonly used protocols establishing networks. The keeps functioning smoothly node executes routing protocol correct manner. However, along benevolent nodes, there may always be some malicious and selfish present that try disrupt, distort disturb traffic. In this paper, we propose a novel pragmatic scheme for sustaining trustworthy routes Each maintains trust levels its immediate based upon current actions. Nodes also share these (reputations) get ancillary information about other minimise control packet overhead, have integrated sharing mechanism DSR route discovery process unique manner augments protocol's performance presence nodes.
