Active Source Routing in Mobile Networks

The document discusses the Location Aided Routing (LAR) protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. LAR is an on-demand routing protocol based on Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) that uses location information obtained from GPS to reduce routing overhead. Ad-hoc networks are collections of mobile nodes that connect arbitrarily without fixed infrastructure. One challenge is securing communications against denial of service attacks by taking advantage of multiple potential routes between nodes.

ACTIVE SOURCE ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR

MOBILE NETWORK
(ABSTRACT)
DOMAIN : MOBILE COMPUTING

An ad-hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and
arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are
capable of changing on a continual basis. The primary goal of such an ad-hoc network
routing protocol is correct and efficient route establishment between a pair of nodes so
that messages may be delivered in a timely manner. LAR is an on-demand protocol who
is based on the DSR (Dynamic Source Routing). The Location Aided Routing protocol
uses location information to reduce routing overhead of the ad-hoc network! Normally
the LAR protocol uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) to get these location
information’s. With the availability of GPS, the mobile hosts knows there physical
location.
Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike
traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed
infrastructure. Instead, hosts rely on each other to keep the network connected. The
military tactical and other security-sensitive operations are still the main applications of
ad hoc networks, although there is a trend to adopt ad hoc networks for commercial
uses due to their unique properties. One main challenge in design of these networks is
their vulnerability to security attacks. In this paper, we study the threats an ad hoc
network faces and the security goals to be achieved. We identify the new challenges and
opportunities posed by this new networking environment and explore new approaches
to secure its communication. In particular, we take advantage of the inherent
redundancy in ad hoc networks — multiple routes between nodes — to defend routing
against denial of service attacks.
