Tactical Information Communication Network(TICN) is a concept-type integrated Military Communication system that enables precise command control and decision making by unifying the diversified military communication network and conveying diverse range of battle field information on real-time, at right place at right time. TICN is designed to advance into high speed, large capacity, long distance wireless relay transmission. To support mobility in battlefield environments, the application of Ad-hoc networking technology to its wireless communication has been examined. Ad-hoc network is consist of mobile nodes and nodes in the network depends on the cooperation of other nodes for forwarding of packets. In this context, some non-cooperating nodes may delay forwarding of packets or drop the packets. This may hamper the network as a whole and disrupt communication between the cooperating nodes. To solve this problem, we present a solution with a Node Weight Management Server(NWMS), which manages each node's weight according to its behavior in local area. When the NWMS detects misbehaving node, it increases the node's weight. If the node's weight exceeds a predefined threshold then the NWMS broadcasts the node's information into network to isolate the misbehaving node from the network. These mechanisms show that they are highly effective and can reliably detect a multitude of misbehaving node.

Ad-hoc network consists f mobile nodes, which they are together in the communication. However, if some misbehaving nodes are in network, it is faced to many threats. Therefore, detection and management of misbehaving node are necessary to make confident in Ad-hoc networks. To solve this problem, we use Node Weight Management Server(NWMS), which it manage each node's weight in local area. When NWMS detect misbehaving node, it adds the node's weight and if the node's weight exceeds threshold then NWMS broadcasts the node's information to isolate in network. These mechanisms show that they are highly effective and can reliably detect a multitude of misbehaving node.
