Abstract

In this paper we discuss the inherent security-energy tradeoffs that exist in wireless ad hoc networks. We propose a closed form cost computation approximation formula to determine the energy cost of monitoring for an intrusion detection algorithm based on its computational complexity and data size. Based on energy and security costs, we formulate a game theoretic distributed monitoring algorithm that enforces cooperative behavior for individual nodes by means of reward functions. Various energy-security tradeoffs operating points for the network intrusion detection can be achieved by tuning the rewards parameter.

Cristina Comaniciu received the M.S. degree in Electronics and Telecommunications from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers University in 2002. From 2002 to 2003 she was a postdoctoral fellow with the Electrical Engineering Department at Princeton University. Since 2003, she is with Stevens Institute of Technology, where she is currently an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director. She served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Communication letters from 2006–2011.
Cristina is a co-recipient of the 2007 IEEE Marconi Best Paper Prize Award in Wireless Communications, and co-author of the book “Multiuser Detection in Cross-Layer Design”, Springer 2005. Cristina was also recently awarded the Rutgers School of Engineering Medal of Excellence Award for the Distinguished Young Alumnus.
Her research interests include cooperative protocols for spectrum sharing and interference mitigation, cross-layer design, game theoretic approaches for energy aware wireless networks, radio resource management for cellular and ad hoc networks and security tradeoffs for wireless networks.
