Trust is an important aspect of mobile adhoc networks (MANETs). It enables entities to cope
with uncertainty and uncontrollability caused by the free will of others. Trust computations …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) were originally designed for a cooperative environment.
To use them in hostile environments, trust-based routing can be used, where instead of …

In general, the encounter probability is leveraged to evaluate whether a node is a qualified
next-hop forwarder in Opportunistic Networks (OppNets); however, it does not truly present …

In opportunistic networks, the probability of encountering a destination node is popularly
used to select a qualified forwarder; however, it can not represent the competency of …

In this paper, we present a trust establishment and management framework for hierarchical
wireless sensor networks. The wireless sensor network architecture we consider consists of …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are wireless multi-hop networks that do not rely on any
fixed infrastructure, unlike traditional networks. Nodes in MANETs are formed dynamically …

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system connected by mobile nodes with
wireless links. Due to absence of infrastructure, MANET is used in various applications, such …

Applying the ad hoc network on vehicles has formed a new kind of network called VANET.
The higher speed of the nodes (vehicles) and frequent change in network topology make …

Security is paramount in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) as they are not conducive to
centralized trusted authorities. Several solutions have been proposed for MANET in the …

Network (MANET) in which an intermediate relay node may engage in discreet packet-
drop** practices for selfish (eg, to conserve power) or other reasons. Each node in Such a …
