Performance of unique and secure routing protocol (USRP) in flying Adhoc Networks for healthcare applications

Abstract

Nowadays, Flying Adhoc Networks play a vital role due to its high efficiency in fast communication. Unmanned aerial vehicles transmit data much faster than other networks and are useful in all aspects of communication. In healthcare applications, wireless body area network transmits the data, whereas the security, which is the most important concern to be focused in a flying adhoc network is not satisfactory. Many intruders tamper the network, degrading the overall network performance. To avoid security issues, a unique and secure routing protocol that provides a single solution for five different types of attacks such as, black hole attacks, grey hole attacks, yoyo attacks, conjoint attack and jamming attacks, is proposed. The simulation results analyses the network performance by using the proposed routing table. In comparison to the other solutions rendered to resolve the affected network, this proposed routing protocol has a higher throughput, higher delivery rate, and lower delay. The Unique and Secure Routing Protocol (USRP) provides an integrated solution for an efficient and secure communication in a flying adhoc network.
