Detecting Noncooperation Nodes Mechanisms in Wireless Networks: A Survey

Abstract

Wireless networks face security problems compared with traditional wired networks. In wireless networks such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), and the internet of things (IoT), nodes have limited radio bandwidth and power supply then. They require cooperation in sending messages. It increases the motivation of nodes not to cooperate in such networks. This paper reviews different methods for identifying and stimulating nodes for focused cooperation. The performance of each method, its advantages, and its disadvantages have been reviewed and functionally categorized and compared with the metrics of false positive/negative rate and detection accuracy, throughput, and other metrics.
