N2 - Understanding network behavior that undergoes challenges is essential toconstructing a resilient and survivable network. Due to the mobility and wirelesschannel properties, it is more difficult to model and analyze mobile ad hoc networksunder various challenges. In this paper, we provide a model to assess the vulnerabilityof mobile ad hoc networks in face of malicious attacks. We analyze comprehensivegraph-theoretical properties and network performance of the dynamicnetworks under attacks against the critical nodes using real-world mobility traces.Motivated by minimum spanning tree and small-world networks, we propose anetwork enhancement strategy by adding long-range links. We compare the performanceof different enhancement strategies by evaluating a list of robustnessmeasures. Our study provides insights into the design and construction of resilientand survivable mobile ad hoc networks.
