A Low Power Trust Routing Scheme for Energy Sensitive Wireless Ad Hoc Network

Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile ad hoc network, energy and trust are important to the network. Energy consumption and trust routing scheme are the main issues in mobile ad hoc network. Trust routing is related to many factors such as hop numbernode residual energy and node behavior. To use the multi-source information, multi-agent information fusion method is used to design trust routing scheme. The definition of trust routing is proposed. Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is used to validate trust routing scheme, Route Reply (RREP) Message is extended to record node residual energy and behavior information. NS-2 simulator is used to simulate different network scenarios. Simulation results show that low power trust routing scheme can improve the security and efficiency of network, the scheme is sensitive to node residual energy, so it extends the service lifetime of the network.
