In this paper, we have proposed a technique to detect and eliminate the malicious/misbehaving nodes involved during routing path formation in hierarchical mesh environments. In this, dijkstra's shortest path routing algorithm is used whose weights are deliberated using certain parameters (i.e....

VANETs are enhanced and upgraded versions of mobile ad-hoc networks which are fruitful for intercommunication vehicles. Communication can be vehicle-to-vehicle and between vehicles to side-fixed equipment known as roadside equipment. This network is self-organized, highly dynamic but separated...
