STRATEGIES FOR EFFICIENT AND SECURE BROADCASTING IN WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS
Abstract
In wireless ad hoc networks, efficient broadcasting and secure packet forwarding are critical for maintaining network performance and reliability. This study explores various strategies to enhance broadcast efficiency while ensuring the legitimacy and security of packet forwarding within these networks. We analyze the challenges posed by the dynamic topology, limited bandwidth, and potential security threats that are inherent to wireless ad hoc networks. By comparing existing protocols and introducing innovative techniques, we aim to optimize resource utilization and minimize redundancy during broadcast operations. Additionally, we propose robust security measures to prevent malicious activities such as packet dropping and unauthorized access, which compromise network integrity. Our proposed strategies are evaluated through simulations, demonstrating significant improvements in broadcast efficiency and security. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for designing more resilient and efficient wireless ad hoc networks, paving the way for their broader application in various fields such as military communications, disaster recovery, and remote sensing.
