A Survey on Routing Protocols and Vulnerabilities in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANETs)

Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is composed of a collection of mobile nodes which are movable. Therefore, dynamic topology, unstable links, limited energy capacity and absence of fixed infrastructure are special features for MANET when compared to wired networks. MANET does not have centralized controllers, which makes it different from traditional wireless networks (cellular networks and wireless LAN). An adhoc network is self-organizing and adaptive. Device in mobile ad hoc network should be able to detect the presence of other devices and perform necessary set up to facilitate communication and sharing of data and service. Ad hoc networking allows the devices to maintain connections to the network as well as easily adding and removing devices to and from the network. The set of applications for MANETs is diverse, ranging from large-scale, mobile, highly dynamic networks, to small, static networks that are constrained by power sources. Then we discuss the security criteria of the mobile ad hoc network and present the main attack types that exist in it then address the possible solution to protect the security mechanism, which involve Availability, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation. Finally a comparison of various routing protocols in MANETs is presented.
