Results

Defects

Neighborhood-based and Routing Recovery [26]

AODV

NS-2

Single detection

2003

The probability of one attacker can be detected is 93%

Failed when attackers cooperate to forge the fake reply packets

Redundant Route and Unique Sequence Number Scheme [27]

AODV

NS-2

Single detection

2004

Verify 75% to 98% of the routes

Attackers can listen to the channel and update the tables for last sequence number

Time-based Threshold Detection Scheme [28]

Secure AODV (SAODV)

GloMoSim

Single detection

2007

The PDR of SAODV is around 90 to 100% when AODV is around 80%

The end-to-end delay increases when the malicious node is away from source node

Random Two-hop ACK and Bayesian Detection Scheme [29]

DSR

GloMoSim-based

Cooperative detection

2007

The true positive rate can achieve 100% when existing 2 witness

The proposed scheme is not efficient when k equals to 3, reducing the true positives

REAct [30]

DSR

-

Single detection

2009

Reduces the communication overhead but enlarges the identification delay

The binary search method is easily expose audit node's information

DPRAODV [31]

AODV

NS-2

Single detection

2009

The PDR is improved by 80-85% than AODV when under black hole attack

A little bit higher routing overhead and end-to-end delay than AODV

Next Hop Information Scheme [32]

AODV

NS-2

Single detection

2010

The PDR is improved by 40-50% and the number of packets dropped is decreased by 75-80% than AODV

Few additional delay

Nital Mistry et al.'s Method [33]

AODV

NS-2

Single detection

2010

The PDR is improved by 81.811% when network size varying, and rise 70.877% when mobility varying

Rise in end-to-end delay is 13.28% when network size varying, and rise 6.28% when mobility varying

IDS based on ABM [34]

MAODV

NS-2

Single detection

2010

The packet loss rate can be decreased to 11.28% and 14.76%

Cooperative isolation the malicious node, but failed at collaborative black hole attacks
