A MANET is a decentralized type of wireless network of mobile devices, it can also be defined as an autonomous system of nodes. All the nodes in the network are connected by wireless links and are mobile. They can come together and form a network without any support from any existing network infrastructure. MANET is a new field of study based on blockchain in a wireless ad-hoc environment. However, the main challenge for blockchain applications in ad-hoc networks is how to adapt to the extreme computational complexity of block validation while preserving the characteristics of blockchain and include nodes in the validation process. This article proposes a blockchain-based mobile network (MANET) with an ensemble algorithm. The proposed scheme provides a distributed environment for MANETS routing using a blockchain based on the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) protocol. Taking advantage of the better approach of mobile ad-hoc networking (BATMAN) to incorporate the concept of blockchain into the MANET as a representative protocol. The proposed method named Extended-BATMAN (E-BATMAN) incorporates the concept of blockchain into BATMAN protocol using MANET. As a secure, distributed and reliable platform, Blockchain solves most BFT security issues, with each node performing repeated security operations individually. The experimental analysis of the proposed ensemble algorithm is based on four parameters such as packet delivery rate, average end-to-end latency, network throughput, and energy. All of these parameters show better results with the proposed ensemble protocol than with existing state-of-the-art protocols. |
