A review of misbehaviour detection and avoidance scheme in ad hoc network

Misbehaving of nodes in ad hoc network is a more sophisticated problem in recent research area. Therefore, detecting misbehavior has been an arduous task for researchers since last few years. Misbehavior node can be selfish or malicious which degrade or disrupt the performance of network upto a great extent. For this, different types of mechanism have already been proposed. In this paper, different mechanisms for detection and prevention of misbehavior node are discussed in detail. This paper contributes in understanding of most appropriate defense mechanisms by providing a comprehensive comparison between them, based on the type of misbehavior they solve. These mechanisms can be integrated into existing or future work to make them resilient to misbehaving nodes. Also, a check list provides a guideline to identify the pros and cons of respected approaches, so that appropriate parameters can be adjusted to enhance network performance.
