Abstract
An ad hoc network is a temporary network operated by autonomous
nodes that may connect with one another without the need for an
established network infrastructure or a central base station. This kind of
network is not resistant to malicious node attacks for a variety of
reasons, including dynamic changes in network architecture, node
confidence in one another, and the lack of a permanent substructure for
analyzing node behavior.
The black hole attack is an example of a denial-of-service attack that
targets a reactive routing protocol and disrupts routing services, resulting
in low packet delivery rates. This project proposes a technique for
improving the security of the ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV)
routing protocol against black hole attack in multiple connection
networks. Also, due to the battery energy constraints in MANET, energy
efficiency is an important factor while designing ad hoc wireless
networks. So as far as possible, our aim is to reduce the number of
duplicated RREQ packets.
The suggested energy-based and security approaches were tested
using network simulator 2.35. The results show that the proposed
methods outperformed the typical AODV in terms of packet delivery
ratio, throughput, and delay.
