on these preliminary observations. Furthermore, the independent MDS passes the

compiled environment information into the data fusion module. e data fusion

module takes the independent experience data and input from the experience of the

other peer nodes for enrichment of the available information. Cooperative MDS

with the help of available enriched information again cross-checks the behavior of

the suspicious nodes from the global perspective and generates the list of misbe-

having nodes. e misbehavior detection by this approach is supposed to be more

reliable than the independent MDS and is a ...
