Secured routing over MANET with power management

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that communicate with each another without any fixed networking infrastructure. Since the nodes in this network are mobile, security and power efficiency are the major concerns in this field. This paper is an effort to combine these factors of security and power to achieve more reliable routing. Most of the protocols in this category are either incorporating security features or considering power factor. In the study no existing protocol is merging the two factors to see results. The adhoc environment is accessible to both legitimate network users and malicious attackers. The adhoc environment has the constraint of power factor. The proposed scheme is intended to incorporate both factors on existing protocols. The simulation experiments have been carried over network simulator (version 2.34) and the results have been computed using packet delivery fraction and average end to end delay with respect to both speed and pause time. The study will help in making protocol more robust against attacks and implementing power factor to achieve stable routing in routing protocols.
