MANETs Presentation

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are decentralized wireless networks of mobile devices characterized by self-configuration, dynamic topology, and energy constraints. They offer advantages such as flexibility and cost-effectiveness but face challenges including routing complexity and security vulnerabilities. Applications range from disaster recovery to military networks, with future trends focusing on integration with 5G, enhanced energy efficiency, and improved security protocols.

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

(MANETs)
Introduction
• A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a
decentralized wireless network of mobile
devices.

• Key Characteristics:
• - Self-configuring
• - No fixed infrastructure
• - Dynamic topology
Characteristics of MANETs
• Decentralized: No centralized authority or
control.
• Dynamic Topology: Nodes can join or leave at
any time.
• Self-Healing: Automatically adapts to network
changes.
• Energy-Constrained: Limited battery life of
devices.
• Scalability: Handles a varying number of nodes.
Components of MANETs
• Nodes: Mobile devices that form the network.
• Routing Protocols: Mechanisms for data
transmission (e.g., AODV, DSR).
• Communication Links: Wireless channels for
data exchange.
Advantages of MANETs
• Flexibility: Can be deployed in remote or
infrastructure-less areas.
• Cost-Effective: No need for pre-existing
infrastructure.
• Scalability: Adapts to the number of nodes
dynamically.
• Robustness: Continues to function despite
node failures.
Challenges in MANETs
• Routing Complexity: Dynamic topology requires
adaptive routing.
• Security: Vulnerable to attacks like eavesdropping
and spoofing.
• Limited Bandwidth: Wireless links have constrained
bandwidth.
• Energy Consumption: Nodes rely on battery power.
• Interference: Signal quality may degrade due to
interference.
Applications of MANETs
Applications of MANETs
• Disaster Recovery: Communication in
disaster-hit areas.
• Military Networks: Secure and flexible
communication for troops.
• Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs):
Communication between vehicles.
• IoT Applications: Smart homes and connected
devices.
Routing Protocols in MANETs
• Proactive Protocols: Maintain updated routes
(e.g., OLSR, DSDV).
• Reactive Protocols: Find routes on-demand
(e.g., AODV, DSR).
• Hybrid Protocols: Combine proactive and
reactive (e.g., ZRP).
Security in MANETs
• Threats:
• - Blackhole Attacks
• - Wormhole Attacks
• - Denial of Service (DoS)

• Solutions:
• - Secure Routing Protocols
• - Cryptographic Techniques
• - Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
Case Study: VANETs
• Definition: A type of MANET for vehicles.

• Applications:
• - Traffic Management
• - Accident Avoidance
• - Emergency Alerts

• Challenges: High-speed mobility, reliability of


communication.
Future Trends
• - Integration with 5G and Beyond.
• - Enhanced Energy Efficiency.
• - Improved Security Protocols.
• - AI and Machine Learning for Adaptive
Routing.
