Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a new approach of communication as it has no any prior
infrastructure requirement. The operability and fast deployment has enhanced its …

Integrating MANET and Internet extends the coverage area and application domain of
MANET and thus provide ubiquitous Internet access. This integration allows nodes attached …

Nowadays, there is an important effort in the research community to connect mobile devices
in ad hoc networks with the Internet. In order to allow the connectivity to the Internet, a …

One of the main aspects that affect the performance of hybrid ad hoc networks is the
discovery and selection of Internet gateways. Similar to conventional ad hoc route discovery …

The mobile ad hoc networks have become a major component of the future network
development due to their ease of deployment, self-configurability, flexibility and …

One of the key overhead components affecting the overall performance of hybrid ad hoc
networks is the discovery and selection of Internet gateways. We develop an analytical …

The connection of ad-hoc networks to the Internet is typically established via gateways. To
start an Internet connection, in a first step gateways have to be discovered by the mobile …

In this paper, we propose a modified form of the hybrid gateway discovery in integrated
Internet-MANET. A modified hybrid gateway discovery approach is called an adaptive …

In recent years, several gateway discovery protocols of Internet connectivity for ad hoc
networks have been proposed. However, systematic performance evaluations and …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are typically considered as stand-alone, autonomous
networks that support multihop communication without relying on any existing infrastructure …
