A Novel Approach for Creating Consistent Trust and Cooperation (CTC) among Mobile Nodes of Ad Hoc Network

The final publication is available at www.springerlink.comThis paper provides a critical analysis of the recent research wok and its impact on the overall performance of a mobile Ad hoc network. In this paper, we clarify some of the misconceptions in the understating of selfishness and miss-behavior of nodes. Moreover, we propose a mathematical model that based on the time division technique to minimize the node misbehavior by avoiding unnecessary elimination of bad nodes. Our proposed approach not only improves the resource sharing but also creates a consistent trust and cooperation (CTC) environment among the mobile nodes. We believe, that the proposed mathematical model not only points out the weaknesses of the recent research work but also approximates the optimal values of the critical parameters such as throughput, transmission over head, channel capacity etc. The simulation results demonstrate the success of the proposed approach that significantly minimizes the malicious nodes and consequently maximizes the overall throughput of the Ad Hoc network than the other well known schemes.http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4020-8737-0_9
