Cohen Kappa Reliability Factor-based Mitigation Mechanism for Enhancing Cooperation in Ad hoc Networks

This paper presents a Cohen Kappa Reliability Factor-based Mitigation Mechanism (CKRFMM) for enabling trustworthy detection of Byzantine nodes. This detection process is achieved by estimating the reliability of the mobile nodes calculated through Cohen Kappa Reliability Factor (CKRF). CKRFMM reconfirms the byzantine behavior of active mobile nodes through Pareto function. Pareto function is a predominant re-test reliability estimator available in the classical theory of statistics. The simulation experimentation conducted using ns-2 of the CKRFMM is determined to be excellent in reducing energy consumptions, network delay compared to the benchmarked byzantine node detection schemes considered for investigation.
