Energy efficient secure clustering and intrusion detection with resource utilization in mobile adhoc networks

Abstract

The mobile nodes in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) are heterogeneous and communicate each other without centralized access point and administration. Ensuring the secure communication between the clusters is tough because of the changing wireless network environment. In recent clustering algorithm the energy minimization is not handled effectively, also due to the dynamic and distributed nature of network security in the network holds narrow research problems. Our protocol improves the efficient clustering process which reduces the number of hops to transmit the information which decreases the energy consumption. Security in terms of IDS detection and key management improved when compared with existing protocols. We consider the channel usage time allocation to minimize the interference to improve the network transmission. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed protocol we present simulations using NS-2. Simulation results show that significant reduction in the energy and makes improvement in control packet overhead and delivery ratio as compared to existing protocols.
