Self-protecting and survivable ad hoc wireless networks benefiting from the efficiency of mechanisms in the Biological immune system
Final Report Abstract
In the final project phase, we have proposed and evaluated the immune inspired architecture for misbehavior detection. Most important, we have provided algorithm for the trade-off between detection and energy efficiency. Taking an overview to the whole SANE project, the main research goal has been achieved. We have designed a survivable ad hoc wireless network that outlasts faults and misbehaviors. Our misbehavior and anomaly detection algorithms can exhibit low fault positives and high detection ratios keeping the energy consumption low. An ad hoc network imposing a high degree of survivability has been implemented. The results in experiments collected during the project will help us in our future investigation about fault and misbehavior detection and practical systems based on such ad hoc wireless (sensor) networks.
