Abstract

Robustness, security, anonymity, and scalability are valued features for mobile ad hoc network routing protocols. Unfortunately, the existing ad hoc routing protocols have limitations in each area. In this paper, we first analyze several existing mobile ad hoc routing protocols for robustness, security, anonymity, and scalability. Based on the analysis, we propose a new robust anonymous ad hoc on-demand routing protocol based on a proposed anonymous neighborhood trust model. We demonstrate that the protocol has strong security and anonymity protection, better scalability and is more robust when compared with other protocols.
