Probabilistic Trust-Based Enhancement for simultaneous transmission in AOMDV Routing Protocol

TL;DR

A probabilistic link-trust model is proposed that incorporates factors such as past behavior, battery levels, and node coupling to distribute data optimally to reduce delay while simultaneously transmitting through multiple paths.

Abstract

This work addresses a trust-based enhancement to the Multipath Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol. While AODV and its multipath variant AOMDV have been fundamental in mobile ad hoc networks, they lack mechanisms to account for node reliability. A probabilistic link-trust model is proposed that incorporates factors such as past behavior, battery levels, and node coupling to distribute data optimally to reduce delay while simultaneously transmitting through multiple paths.
