Secure Data Transmission on Manet in Weight and Energy Based Clustering Using Ecochainmanet-Heed

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) face unique challenges in ensuring secure data transmission while optimizing energy consumption. This paper presents an innovative approach, EcoChainMANET-HEED that combines weight and energy-based clustering techniques to enhance data security and energy efficiency in MANETs. The proposed methodology leverages the ECOCHAINMANET framework and integrates the HEED clustering algorithm, prioritizing energy-efficient cluster formation. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate that EcoChainMANET-HEED significantly improves data confidentiality and integrity while extending network lifetime. Research findings underscore the importance of leveraging clustering mechanisms in MANETs to achieve secure data transmission and efficient resource utilization.
