The algorithm allows the structured representation of network topology, which has a fuzzy reasoning mechanism for finding the routing sprouting tree from the source node to the destination node in the mobile ad boc environment. Finally, by comparing the degree of reliability in the routing sprouting tree, the most reliable route can be computed. The algorithm not only offers the local reliability between each neighboring node, but also provides global reliability for the whole selected route. The algorithm can be applied to most existing on-demand routing protocols, and the simulation results show that the routing reliability is increased by more than 80% when applying the proposed algorithm to the ad hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol.展开更多

The RingNet hierarchy consists of 4 tiers: border router tier, access gateway tier, access proxy tier and mobile host tier. Within the hierarchy, the upper 2 tiers are dynamically organized into logical rings with network entities. A novel hierarchical secure access control scheme on key management is proposed based on the RingNet model. Network entities within the multicast hierarchy belong to different privileged local groups. Network entities of the higher-privileged local groups have the right to derive the keys held by network entities of the lower-privileged local groups, and the reverse operation is not allowed. With the key management approach, any insertion and changing of local group key will not affect other local groups. The analytical result shows that the scheme has higher security than Lin’s.展开更多
