Cluster and angular based energy proficient trusted routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc network

An Internet of Things (IoT) is a superior technology that will connect more number of wired/wireless devices through an internet. The Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is s wireless system which will connect the wireless devices through low bandwidth wireless links. Hence, Integrating MANET with IoT greatly improves the performance of the IoT subject to energy constrained and trusted security. Protecting the ad hoc routing from the black hole attacks, Byzantine flooding, Location disclosure attacks etc., seems to be a very difficult issue in the previous researches. To overcome the aforementioned security issues, a novel methodology called Cluster and Angular based Energy Proficient Trusted Routing (ACEPTR) protocol is proposed in this research article. Initially, Node Credit Score (NCS) is calculated to compute trust ratio for the nodes. The credit score calculation includes both Self-Trust computation and Joint-Trust computation. Once highest NCS is computed then angular energy based route selection process is carried out to form the clusters since cluster based routing reduces energy consumption extensively. The conventional communication control process is applied for finding node's transmission range so that data can be transmitted over angular energy based highest NCS nodes. The simulation results obtained is compared with the conventional schemes and the metrics proved that the proposed scheme achieves better system performance.
