Secure Multipath Routing Algorithm for Device-to-Device Communications for Public Safety over LTE Heterogeneous Networks

This article proposes a new approach for secure communications Device-to-Device (D2D) if unable to apply network coding transmissions within LTE small cells. Our new algorithm called Secure Load Balancing Selective Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (LBS-AOMDV) is based on a multipath coded information transmissions, Data Splitting and Data Shuffling schemes. The objective of this study is to reduce the impact of confidentiality attack within Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) by preventing eavesdroppers to obtain significant information from those transmitted by legal users, while ensuring a high level of quality of Service (QoS) for transmitted traffic. The simulation results show that Secure LBS-AOMDV increases the level of security in the wireless network compared to the LBS-AOMDV approach without adding traffic control.
