Abstract
In this paper, we present an enhanced scheme to handle MAC layer misbehavior in wireless networks. It’s known that IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN medium access control (MAC) provides transmission fairness to nodes in a network. But some nodes can take advantage and modify its MAC to improve its own performance at the expense of other nodes. To handle these misbehaving nodes, we use a backslide strategy to react against the misbehaving nodes, which is based on the number of times the misbehaving nodes they misbehave. Extensive simulation results are presented to validate our proposed strategy by improving honest nodes throughput and then the performance of the network.
