Abstract

Abstract : In Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) enabled Internet of Things (IoT) agricultural field monitoring, sensor devices are automatically connected and form an independent network that serves as a cloud for many services such as monitoring, securing, and properly maintaining. Cloud-based services in MANET models can prove to be an extremely effective way of smart agricultural functionalities for device-to-device information exchange. Security is a serious issue with Cloud-MANET-based IoT since nodes are scattered, mobile, and lacking centralized administrator, which makes it possible for data tampering and illegal actions on cloud servers. Therefore, these types of networks are more vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Blackhole and Wormhole. The MANET Enabled IoT-Agricultural Field Monitoring environment is deployed through a case study. The effect of Blackhole and Wormhole attacks is analyzed using the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol with the help of Network Simulator 3 (NS-3) in order to determine which has the most impact on network performance. We computed performance constraints such as throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), end-to-end delay (EED), and Jitter-Sum of preprocessed data gathered with the flow-monitor module of NS-3. The effect of attacks on MANET Enabled IoT-Agricultural Field Monitoring is compared on the varying number of nodes participating in the Cloud-MANET-based IoT network. The throughput and goodput capability of every node is computed through the trace metric package. This method is also highly useful for future Cloud-MANET-Based IoT smart agricultural field security research.
