Improved Selfish Node Detection Algorithm for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) suffers from different security issues. Ideally, not all nodes in MANET cooperate in forwarding packets because of non-malicious intention. This node is called selfish node and it behaves so due to its internal state such as limited energy concerns. Selfish nodes drop packets and that harms the process of routes establishment and relaying packets. Therefore, it is very important to detect these nodes and avoid them, which guarantees improving the performance of the overall network. Here, an improved scheme has been developed for detecting selfish node in Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV) based wireless routing network. Two algorithms were integrated for assuring least fault positive decision of selfish nodes detection; first one is to avoid false positive of detection of selfish nodes in forwarding Route Request (RREQ) and second one is to avoid false positive of detection of selfish node in forwarding data packets. This scheme guarantees improvement in performance of packet forwarding in terms of Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and End-to-End delay (E2E delay).
