Mitigating Traffic Remapping Attacks in Autonomous Multihop Wireless Networks

Multihop wireless networks with autonomous nodes are susceptible to selfish traffic remapping attacks (TRAs). Nodes launching TRAs leverage the underlying channel access function to receive an unduly high Quality of Service (QoS) for packet flows …

A Reputation Scheme to Discourage Selfish QoS Manipulation in Two-Hop Wireless Relay Networks

In wireless networks, stations can improve their received quality of service (QoS) by handling packets of source flows with higher priority. Additionally, in cooperative relay networks, the relays can handle transit flows with lower priority. We use …

Selfish Attacks in Two-Hop IEEE 802.11 Relay Networks: Impact and Countermeasures

In IEEE 802.11 networks, selfish stations can pursue a better quality of service through selfish MAC-layer attacks. Such attacks are easy to perform, secure routing protocols do not prevent them, and their detection may be complex. Two-hop relay …

Traffic Remapping Attacks in Ad Hoc Networks

Ad hoc networks rely on the mutual cooperation of stations. As such, they are susceptible to selfish attacks that abuse network mechanisms. Class-based QoS provisioning mechanisms, such as the EDCA function of IEEE 802.11, are particularly prone to …

Modeling a Traffic Remapping Attack Game in a Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Network

In multi-hop ad hoc networks, selfish nodes may unduly acquire high quality of service (QoS) by assigning higher priority to source packets and lower priority to transit packets. Such traffic remapping attacks (TRAs) are cheap to launch, impossible …

Credibility of Threats to Jam Anonymous Traffic Remapping Attacks in Ad Hoc WLANs

In ad hoc networks, selfish stations can pursue a better quality of service (QoS) by performing traffic remapping attacks (TRAs), i.e., by falsely assigning their traffic to a higher priority class, which can hurt honest stations' QoS. To discourage …

Discouraging Traffic Remapping Attacks in Local Ad Hoc Networks

Quality of Service (QoS) is usually provided in ad hoc networks using a class-based approach which, without dedicated security measures in place, paves the way to various abuses by selfish stations. Such actions include traffic remapping attacks …
