Ad-hoc networks suffer from the problem of hidden nodes (terminals), which leads to severe
degradation of network throughput. This survey gives a comprehensive overview of Medium …

The MAC layer misbehavior of the IEEE 802.11 standard can have a negative impact on the
wireless network's performance, similar to the effects of denial of service attacks. The goal of …

Abstract Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) have been gaining increasing popularity in
recent years thanks to their ease of deployment and the low cost of their components. The …

The IEEE 802.11 s amendment for wireless mesh networks does not provide incentives for
stations to cooperate and is particularly vulnerable to selfish insider attacks in which a …

We present a novel model of IEEE 802.11 EDCA with support for analysing networks with
misbehaving nodes. In particular, we consider backoff misbehaviour. Firstly, we verify the …

In this paper, we suggest the use of the chi‐square test for detecting backoff misbehaviour in
IEEE 802.11 EDCA networks. A performance evaluation is performed to compare the chi …

Quality of Service (QoS) is usually provided in ad hoc networks using a class-based
approach which, without dedicated security measures in place, paves the way to various …

Through time domain observation, typical wireless signal strength values seems to exhibit
some forms of mean-reverting and discontinuous “jumps” behaviour. Motivated by this fact …

One of the latest protocols developed for the Internet of Things networks is IEEE 802.11 ah,
proposed by the WiFi Alliance. The new channel access mechanism in IEEE 802.11 ah …

Selfish users are known to be a severe security threat for wireless ad hoc networks. In
particular, they can exploit mechanisms designed to assure quality of service (QoS) in the …
