MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR IMPROVING SECURE COMMUNICATION AND EFFICIENCY IN WANET NETWORK

Wireless Ad Hoc Networks (WANETs) are decentralized, dynamic networks that operate without fixed infrastructure, making them essential for scenarios like disaster recovery, military applications, and mobile IoT. However, their flexibility comes with significant challenges, including security vulnerabilities and resource inefficiencies. Addressing these challenges requires a holistic approach that balances robust security with operational efficiency. This thesis introduces a novel mathematical model designed to enhance secure communication and improve the efficiency of WANETs. By integrating lightweight cryptographic techniques with dynamic routing algorithms, the model mitigates key vulnerabilities while optimizing performance metrics such as throughput and latency. Simulation results validate the model's effectiveness, demonstrating improved network resilience against attacks, reduced power consumption, and enhanced communication reliability. This research contributes to the foundational understanding of secure and efficient WANET operation, paving the way for further advancements in this critical area.
