Survivability Modeling And Analysis Of Mobile Ad Hoc Network With Correlated Node Behavior

This paper present a new survivability model based on correlated node behavior to study the global survivability of mobile ad hoc networks. The model uses k-correlated survivability model for correlated node behavior of mobile ad hoc networks which is an extended version of k-connectivity of individual node model. The k-correlated survivability model takes correlated degree to measure node correlation as a new function of survivability. The study evaluates the impact of correlated node behavior particularly selfish, malicious and fails nodes toward network resilience and survivability. The results show that correlated node behaviors have more adverse effects on the survivability.
