A New Approach to Coding in Content-Based MANETs

| Abstract |

In content-based mobile ad hoc networks (CBMANETs), random linear network coding (NC) can be used to
reliably disseminate large files under intermittent connectivity.
Conventional NC involves random unrestricted coding at intermediate
nodes. This however is vulnerable to pollution attacks. To avoid attacks, a brute force approach is to allow mixing only at the source. However, source restricted NC generally reduces the robustness of the code in the face of errors, losses and mobility induced intermittence. CB-MANETs introduce a new option. Caching is common in CB MANETs and a fully reassembled
cached file can be viewed as a new source. Thus, NC packets can be mixed at all sources (including the originator and the intermediate caches) yet still providing protection from pollution. The hypothesis we wish to test in this paper is whether in CBMANETs with replicated caches of a file, the performance (in terms of robustness) of the coding restricted to full caches equals
that of unrestricted coding.
In this paper, we examine and compare four options: unrestricted
coding, full cache coding, source only coding, and no coding. As expected, we find that full cache coding remains competitive with unrestricted coding while maintaining full protection
against pollution attacks.
