Security and QoS Integration Model for MANETs

The new model used to integrating security and Quality of Service (QoS) as one parameter in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is introduced and studied in this article. Security and QoS represent a highly important field o research in MANET and they are still being considered separately with no mechanisms used to establish cooperation between them. This new model provides alternative to cooperation between QoS and security via cross layer design (CLD) and modified security service vector. Performance analysis of the new designed model is introduced too. It is also considered herein how processing of the new integrating model affects the performance of the MANET networks

Estimation-Based Queue Scheduling Model to Improve QoS for End Users in MANETs

Using MANETs for real time applications is always a challenge as the network is extremely dynamic with brisk topology changes. Despite this, several real time schedulers have been developed that aimed at providing QoS to ad hoc nodes. The quality of service (QoS) is standardized in terms of capacity, reliability, link quality, delays/jitters, and network cost. Thus, for QoS, the better transmission should be maintained at end user as well as at the transmitting unit. QoS of a network is affected by delays and bandwidth allocated for transmission. For an efficient network, it is required to predict these metrics during transmission. For this, in this paper, integration of quaternion-based Kalman filter is performed that predicts the required bandwidth and the network delays with higher accuracy. From the analysis, it is shown that bandwidth can be optimized but it is not possible to aloof delays in the network. Thus, while implementing such admission control procedures, estimation process allows control over delays and sustain them from going beyond a certain threshold value. The model proposed is a novel approach and has not been formulated in any of previous work related to QoS in MANETs. The effectiveness of model is demonstrated using both simulation and real time results

Diseño de mecanismos para el desarrollo de sistemas seguros con calidad de servicio (QoS)

Seguridad y Calidad de Servicio (QoS) son aspectos ampliamente confrontados. En esta tesis se realiza un análisis detallado de las características y requisitos de seguridad y QoS en las redes candidatas a formar parte de la Internet del Futuro (IF) y de la Internet de los Objetos (IdO), así como de los mecanismos actuales para el análisis de la compensación entre mecanismos de seguridad y QoS. De este estudio se desprende la necesidad de definir nuevos modelos para la evaluación del impacto entre mecanismos de seguridad y QoS, dado que la mayor parte de los estudios centra sus esfuerzos en entornos específicos y características determinadas que no pueden ser fácilmente mapeadas a otros entornos, o cambiar dinámicamente. Por ello definimos un modelo para la composición de esquemas de definición paramétrica basado en el contexto, definido por sus siglas en inglés, Context-based Parametric Relationship Model (CPRM). Este modelo es implementado en una herramienta para la evaluación de mecanismos de Seguridad y QoS (SQT), y su rendimiento evaluado en base a la información integrada en los contextos y la dependencia paramétrica. Finalmente, para mejorar la visualización de los resultados y agilizar la comprensión del modelo definimos un sistema de recomendaciones para la herramienta SQT (SQT-RS). El análisis del modelo y de la herramienta se realiza empleando dos casos base dentro de escenarios del FI: mecanismos de autenticación en redes de sensores (WSN) y recomendaciones para la composición de mecanismos en escenarios de 5G Green sometidos a eavesdropping y jamming
