Collusion-Free MANET Communication Framework for Direct Connectivity

Abstract-Dynamic, infrastructure-free communication be- tween mobile devices are made possible via mobile ad hoc networks, or MANETs. Their dependability is hampered by issues including malicious activity, node cooperation, and security risks. A collusion-free MANET communication architecture for safe and effective direct mobile-to-mobile networking is pro- posed in this research. The system uses trust-based processes and sophisticated cryptographic algorithms to identify and stop node collusion. Network performance indicators like throughput, latency, and packet delivery ratio may be thoroughly analyzed through simulation using MATLAB. By improving MANETs’ overall security and dependability, the suggested method enables smooth communication in dynamic, resource-constrained con- texts. Results show that it performs better than current methods, which makes it appropriate for use in remote connectivity, military operations, and disaster recovery.
