Research on Survivability of Mobile Ad Hoc Network

In this paper, we analyze the survivability of Mobile Ad Hoc Network systemically and give a detailed description of the survivability issues related to the MANET. We begin with analyzing the requirements of survivability of ad hoc network, and then classify the impacts that affect survivability into three categories: dynamic topology, faults and attacks. The impacts of these factors are analyzed individually. A simulation environment for the MANET towards survivability is designed and implemented as well. Experiments that under the requirements and the impacts we declared are done based on this environment.
