Abstract

In Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), a source node relies on other nodes to multipath packets to the destination. In Ad-hoc NN-TC Model (Neighbour Node-based Trust Calculation) protocol, malicious nodes make data security between source and destination difficult in cyber security system. Due to movement and signal intensity, nodes rapidly lose connection or die off. Reduce packet dropouts using RSSI. AOMDV, a revolutionary MANET protocol with trust-based Bayesian statistical model improves packet transmission and reduces packet losses. Route discovery using the proposed Improved Winnow Trust based Multipath Route Discovery (IWT-MRD) technique protocol finds many loop-free pathways. Two methods—packet forwarding ratio, incentive, and penalty—measure a node's trustworthiness. RSSI calculates distance and dynamically sets signal intensity transmission. The routing table uses trust and RSSI values to choose trustworthy nodes with strong signals. So, other trustworthy nodes are less stable. Fuzzy logic input preserves the reliable route in the routing database. Neighbour Node-Based Trust Calculation (NN-TC) Model uses each node's trust and RSSI values to calculate dependability. NS-2 network simulator was used to test protocol efficiency under variable node speeds and malicious node numbers. Compare Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector routing (AOMDV), Trust based Bayesian Statistical Model in AOMDV protocol TB-AOMDV1, and Fuzzy Trust with RSSI in AOMDV (FT-AOMDV) utilising Routing Packet Overhead, End-To-End Latency, Delivery Ratio, And Throughput. The highest Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) is applied by presented method is 99.21%, AOMDV as 83.8%, TB-AOMDV1 as the 92.2% and FT-AOMDV as 97.6%.
