Reliable and secure QoS routing and transport protocols for mobile ad hoc networks

无线通信技术的进步与便携式通信设备（例如，传感器、PDA、手机和笔记本电脑等，已经导致了移动的自组织网络（MANET）的出现。MANET是一组自治的移动的节点（通常由电池供电，因此能量有限），它们通过开放且易于出错的无线通信信道连接，而没有中央控制或固定的基础设施。节点具有有限的计算和通信能力。网络是动态的，节点可以自由地加入或离开网络，有限的带宽和通信范围使得移动自组网依赖于多跳消息中继。由于其自发性和无基础设施的特点，移动自组网具有广泛的应用前景。特别适用于会议室、应急救援、战场等通信基础设施不存在或被破坏的场景。本研究的目的是解决一些重要的QoS和网络安全问题的移动自组网。QoS问题包括QoS路由和QoS传输控制;安全问题包括密钥管理、信任管理和入侵检测。我们将整合我们所提出的解决方案，以获得一个安全的QoS通信框架，并通过现实世界的平台验证这个框架。

The advance in wireless communication technologies, coupled with the recent proliferation of portable communication devices, e.g., sensors, PDA, cell phone, and laptop, etc., has led to the emergence of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). MANET is a group of autonomous mobile nodes (usually battery-powered, thus energy limited) that are connected via open and error-prone wireless communication channel without central control or fixed infrastructure. Nodes have limited computation and communication capabilities. Network is dynamic, since nodes are free to join or leave it. Limited bandwidth and communication range cause MANET to rely on multihop message relay. Due to its spontaneous and infrastructure-less nature, MANET has great potentials in a broad range of applications. It is particularly suitable for conference room, emergency rescue, and battlefield scenarios, where communication infrastructure does not exist or is destroyed. The purpose of this research is to address some important QoS and network security issues in MANET. QoS issues include QoS routing and QoS transmission control; security issues include key management, trust management, and intrusion detection. We will integrate our proposed solutions to obtain a secure QoS communication framework, and validate this framework via real-world platform.
