Abstract

Mobile ad hoc network is self-designing, autonomous, without any centralize node and lacking of the fixed infrastructure network. Mobile nodes are depending on other nodes for transmitting data. Mobile ad hoc network has expected that all nodes are cooperating with each other. Anyhow, some nodes are not cooperating and saving their resources for own use, these nodes are termed as a selfish node. Behaviour of selfishness performance of network reduces. In this paper, define behaviour of selfish node, different techniques are used to identify selfish node attack and prevention of a selfish node attack in MANET. With the help of watchdog technique selfish node attack can detect and using proposed approach prevention of a selfish node attack is possible and network performance improves.
