Different solutions to routing attacks in MANET

Abstract

MANET doesn’t need any infrastructure; it is multi-hop network of mobile nodes. Each node can move freely at any direction. We can use wireless devices such as mobile, PDA, tablet, Laptop etc. anywhere at any time. MANET with mobility feature has several challenges, such as dynamic topology, bandwidth constraints and limited battery power etc. Ultra Wide Band MANET has applications in variety of fields such as high bandwidth wireless network for home and offices. UWB can be used in entertainment and emergency services, military communications. UWB MANET nodes are dynamic and every node acts like a router, due to changing topology UWB MANET is vulnerable to malicious attack. Routing attack becomes one of the special problem in UWB MANET several routing protocol AODV, AOMDV, CLSAODV are in existence. All these protocols have limitations one can secure route but not communication data. Proposed protocol will provide both routing and communication security. This work presents a detailed survey on different routing attacks and solutions to these routing attacks.
