Location Based Energy Efficient Routing Protocol using ALERT in MANETs

In order to provide anonymity protection Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) use anonymous routing protocols that hide node identities and/or routes from outside observers. An anonymous communication method in MANETS is divided into three types that is reactive methods, proactive methods and anonymous routing method. The reactive routing method includes hop-by-hop encryption and redundant traffic routing which either generate high cost or cannot provide full anonymity protection to data, sources, destinations, and routes. But Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) uses various anonymous routing protocols to provide anonymity protection to data, sources and destination. Hence to offer a very high anonymity protection, Anonymous Location-based Efficient Routing protocol (ALERT) was proposed. Basic idea behind my proposed system is to dynamically partition the network field into zones and randomly chooses nodes in zones as intermediate relay nodes, which form a non-traceable anonymous route. And finds the best energy path within the different anonymous routes Experiments and simulation results have proved that proposed system provides route anonymity protection at lower cost compared to existing anonymous routing protocol.
