TL;DR: This work introduces a model of data forwarding in MANETs which is used for recognizing malicious packet dropping behaviors and proposes an anomaly-based IDS system based on an enhanced windowing method to carry out the collection and analysis of selected cross-layer features.

TL;DR: Dynamical Relay Node placement Solution (DRNS) is introduced, based on the use of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms and is inspired by Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques following a bi-objective optimization procedure, where both network connectivity and throughput are jointly maximized.

TL;DR: The present paper introduces a novel data loss/modification detection and recovery scheme that relies on a multivariate statistical analysis approach that exploits spatial density, a common feature in network environments such as WSNs, and introduces a Novel data arrangement method to exploit the spatial correlation among the sensors in a more efficient manner.

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel approach intended to detect the well-known sinkhole attack in MANETs, one of the most representative route poisoning attacks aimed at exploiting multi-hop source-destination routes to seize communications.

TL;DR: The major concerns regarding such security threats are presented, and a classification for this type of attack is proposed, highlighting the necessity for the different players involved to take joint action.
