abstract = { This Research Paper introduces a channel aware detection (CAD) algorithm that can effectively 
identify the selective forwarding misbehavior from the normal channel losses. It is a special case of denial of 
service  (DoS)  attack  in  wireless  mesh  networks  (WMNs)  known  as  selective  forwarding  attack  .The  CAD 
algorithm is based on two strategies. With such an attack, a misbehaving mesh router just forwards a subset 
of packets it receives but drops the others. Channel estimation is the procedure to estimate the normal loss 
rate due to bad channel quality or medium access collision. Traffic monitoring is to monitor the actual loss 
rate, if the monitored loss rate at certain hops exceeds the estimated loss rate, those nodes involved will be 
identified as attackers. To determine the optimal detection thresholds that minimizes the summation of false 
alarm and missed detection probabilities. In this work the system is free from collision or jamming attacks, 
when an attacker introduces noise to simulate a noisy channel, it indeed affects the sensing process which in 
turn  leads  to  inaccurate  threshold.  This  project  uses  CAD  approach  to  demonstrate  the  efficiency  of 
discriminating  selective  forwarding  attacks  from  normal  channel  losses  through  extensive  computer 
simulations.
