Towards a novel trust-based opportunistic routing protocol for wireless networks

摘要

Routing in an ad hoc wireless network is a very important topic, especially considering the presence of malicious nodes.The authors propose a novel trust-based opportunistic routing protocol. A simulation is implemented and three metrics (RTOR, TORDP, and GEOTOR) are evaluated when considering next hop selection. The evaluation shows that all three proposed metrics performed better than the baseline for hop count, end-to-end delay, and packet delivery rate.
