        The application of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) in emergency and critical cases needs a precise and formal performance evaluation of these networks. Traditional simulation-based performance evaluators like NS-2 and OPNET usually need a considerable time for producing high level performance metrics. Also there is no theoretical background for mentioned simulators, too. In this research, we propose a framework for performance evaluation of mobile ad hoc networks. The presented framework points to the network layer of MANETs using SRN (Stochastic Reward Nets) modeling tool as variation of generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN). Based on decomposition technique it encompasses two separate models: one for analysis of data flowing process and the other for modeling routing process ; supposing AODV as a routing protocol that is worked out. To verify the presented model, an equivalence-based method is applied. The proposed SRN model has been quantified by deriving two performances metrics as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and End-to-end Delay. Both metrics are also compared to the value obtained from NS-2 simulator versus different number of nodes and four packet generation rates. The results show the obtained values from presented SRN model well matched to the values generated from NS-2 simulator with a considerable lesser execution time. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, an attack analysis and detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with AODV routing protocol is proposed. The proposed method uses the anomaly detection approach for detecting attacks in which the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV protocol are defined via step by step analysis of AODV protocol and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy voting method is used for combining support vector data description (SVDD), mixture of Gaussians (MoG), and self-organizing maps (SOM) one-class classifiers and the combined model is utilized to partially detect the attacks in cluster members. The votes of cluster members are periodically transmitted to the cluster head and final decision on attack detection is carried out in the cluster head. In the proposed method, a fuzzy voting method is used for aggregating the votes of cluster members in the cluster head by which the performance of the method improves significantly in detecting blackhole, rushing, route error fabrication, packet replication, and wormhole attacks. In this paper, an attack analysis method based on feature sensitivity ranking is also proposed that determines which features are influenced more by the mentioned attacks. This sensitivity ranking leads to the detection of the types of attacks launched on the network. Manuscript profile

        Over recent years, green communication technology has been emerged as an important area of concern for communication research and industrial community. The reason of paying attention of this area is its effect on reducing environmental pollutions. According to recent research, a significant share of these pollutions is produced by the local area computer networks. A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is one of the widely used local area networks. The energy efficiency is important in MANETs not only from the green communication point of view, but also due to the network limitations in terms of battery lifetime. Of course, MANETs characterization such as distributed nature and lack of administration, nodes mobility, frequent topology changes and scare resources makes the greening trend a challenging task in such a context. In this paper, we propose and implement a green routing protocol for MANET which solves the idle energy consumption by allowing the necessary nodes and switching off the other un-utilized nodes. Simulation results show this can help to the 20 percentage of saving energy in the environment on average and also aware of the quality of service. Manuscript profile
