A Survey on Detection of Packet Dropping Attacks in Wireless Adhoc Network

Abstract Wireless adhoc network is emerging fast due to its unique feature such as easy to deploy. There are various security issues. These security issues are due to the packet drops in the network. The nodes in the network co-operate each other to forward the packets from source to destination. The adver zry may exploit this cooperative nature by dropping the packets. The packet dropping may be either by the presence of malicious node or link error. There are various methodologies to detect and isolate the cause for the packet drop. In this paper the survey is carried out for the detection and isolation of packet drop.
