Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Mirza, N., Taylor, H., Abdelshafy, M., King, P., Romdhani, I., & Alghamdi, A. (2018). Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs. In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISNCC.2018.8530886

Utilising multiple disjoint paths in multiple channels can improve network performance by enabling a node to reroute data along discovered paths seamlessly when link failure is detected. However, depending on a stale route to recover from a broken li... Read More about Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs.

Addressing the DAO Insider Attack in RPL’s Internet of Things Networks (2018)
Journal Article
Ghaleb, B., Al-Dubai, A., Ekonomou, E., Qasem, M., Romdhani, I., & Mackenzie, L. (2019). Addressing the DAO Insider Attack in RPL’s Internet of Things Networks. IEEE Communications Letters, 23(1), 68-71. https://doi.org/10.1109/LCOMM.2018.2878151

In RPL routing protocol, the DAO (Destination Advertisement Object) control messages are announced by the child nodes to their parents to build downward routes. A malicious insider node can exploit this feature to send fake DAOs to its parents period... Read More about Addressing the DAO Insider Attack in RPL’s Internet of Things Networks.

Reliable and Energy-Efficient Two Levels Unequal Clustering Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Networks (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Ali, A. E., Al-Dubai, A., Romdhani, I., & Eshaftri, M. (2018, June). Reliable and Energy-Efficient Two Levels Unequal Clustering Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Networks. Paper presented at The 16th IEEE International Conference on Smart City (IEEE SmartCity-2018)

In Wireless Sensor Networks, clustering sensor nodes into disjoint groups is widely used to achieve load balance and increase network lifetime. In particular, traditional unequal clustering approaches where small clusters located close to the base st...
