Unlinkability Measure for IEEE 802.11b MANET

In this paper, the authors propose a two-step unlinkability measuring approach for MANET, i.e., evidence collection using statistical packet-counting traffic analysis, evidence theory-based unlinkability measure. They use IEEE 802.11b-based MANETs as their analytical systems. Using their approach, they can collect a set of evidence to set up a probability assignment for each possible communication relation (i.e., the data sender and corresponding receiver); and then they can apply the evidence theory-based unlinkability measuring methods to derive the unlinkability evaluations of the 802.11b MANET.
