Functional Ontology of Routing Reputation for MANET

The nature of mobile ad hoc networks make the routing is highly dependent on cooperate behavior between nodes, and using reputation mechanism can enforce cooperation among the nodes to prevent selfish behavior. This article proposes a functional ontology for reputation routing mechanisms base on node behavior. In this ontology, the functional structures and conceptualize that compose the reputation routing mechanism are identified. At the end of this paper, an ontological view of routing reputation query also has been proposed to describe the inner relationships of the reputation routing discovery, which try to prove the dependability of routing relationships that established between independent nodes based on their routing reputation.
