A replay attacker performs this attack at anytime and anywhere in the network by interception and retransmission of the valid signed messages. Consequently, the MANET performance is severally degraded by the overhead produced by the redundant valid messages. In this paper, we propose an enhancement of timestamp discrepancy used to validate a signed message and consequently limiting the impact of a replay attack. Our proposed timestamp concept estimates approximately the time where the message is received and validated by the received node. This estimation is based on the existing parameters defined at the 802.11 MAC layer.展开更多
文摘HWMP(hybrid wireless mesh protocol)协议中的路径选择判据仅注重考虑链路中节点所占信道的资源量,而没有综合考虑其它节点的干扰。针对该问题,结合802.11sMAC层的特点,通过提取MAC层中的网络分配矢量(networkallocation vector,NAV)参数,在基于空中传播时间链路判据(airtime link metric,ALM)的基础上,提出了一种新的路径选择判据E-ALM(enhanced-airtime link metric)。仿真实验结果表明:新的路径选择判据有助于提高网络吞吐量、降低时延和丢包率,并在一定程度上避免了网络拥塞。该判据对基于802.11s的无线网状网路径选择进行了优化,从而提高了网络的整体性能。
