Implementation of the new integration model of security and QoS for MANET to the OPNET

Abstract

The implementation of the new designed model used to integrating security and Quality of Service (QoS) as one parameter in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is introduced and studied in this paper. Security and QoS represent a highly important field of research in MANET and they are still being considered separately with no mechanisms used to establish cooperation between them. This new model provides alternative to cooperation between QoS and Security via Cross Layer Design (CLD) and modified Security Service Vector (SSV). Main motivation of this paper is indicating how could be security integrated as a QoS parameter to the MANET via this model. The performance analysis of the new designed model in the well-know simulator OPNET Modeler is also provides. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
