Current watchdog mechanism only evaluates its next-hop’s behavior and propagates the evaluation result to other nodes by broadcasting, which is neither energy efficient nor attack resilient. An extended watchdog mechanism is proposed in this paper. Besides the next-hop, node with extended watchdog will monitor all its neighbors’ behavior on the base of information collected from MAC layer. By overhearing the CTS packets, subsequent RTS or data packets and intervals between them, a node can judge whether its neighbor forwards the packet or not despite the location of the neighbor. The misbehaved node is punished by restricting its injected packets. Analysis and simulations on NS2 prove the effectiveness of extended watchdog mechanism. Its low communication overhead (about 1.76%) and attack resilience resulted from its fully distributed nature make it a competent solution in constructing a secure wireless sensor network. }, issn = {3080-180X}, doi = {https://doi.org/}, url = {http://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22782.html} }
