Sensor nodes are grouped into clusters.Each cluster has several nodes as shown in Figure 2. A packet is transferred via a source node tothe base station using a route. During the transmission any malicious node drop a packet, theneighbor nodes work as monitoring and detect the packet that drop by the adversary. In ourapproach, any node located in an intermediate is responsible to detect the malicious nodes.The selective forwarding attack in example of Figure 3 may happen between sensor nodes.
