The Internet of things (IoT) is a heterogeneous network of different types of wireless
networks such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs), ZigBee, Wi-Fi, mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs), and RFID. To make IoT a reality for smart environment, more attractive to end
users, and economically successful, it must be compatible with WSNs and MANETs. In light
of this, the present paper discusses a novel quantitative trust model for an IoT-MANET. The
proposed trust model combines both direct and indirect trust opinion in order to calculate the …

Internet of things (IoT) is the internet connectivity of heterogeneous network with physical
devices. The main idea of IoT is to establish communication of smart devices with global
communication. These wireless networks can be wireless sensor network (WSN), Wi-Fi and
mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). To make IoT a reality for smart and user-friendly
environment as well as economical, it needs compatibility of IoT with wireless sensor
network (WSN) and mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). This MANET is an infrastructure less …
