In ad hoc networks with Internet connectivity, an Internet gateway (IG) is used to connect ad
hoc mobile nodes to the Internet. Multiple Internet gateways may be deployed in order to …

Since Internet gateways route all packets to and from the Internet, they are likely to become
the traffic bottleneck between Ad Hoc networks and the Internet. Although multiple Internet …

Wireless ad hoc networks are connected to the fixed Internet by means of Internet gateways.
Whenever a node within the ad hoc network wishes to communicate with a host in the …

Recently, the idea of integrating mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and the Internet are
being explored to expand the reach of the Internet to MANET access networks. It will get us …

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

The overall performance of hybrid ad hoc networks, which is the integration of ad hoc
networks and fixed IP networks like the Internet is affected heavily by the discovery 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 …

One of the key components affecting the overall performance of hybrid ad hoc networks is
the algorithm used to discover and select Internet gateways. We have analytically modeled …

Several gateway selection schemes have been proposed that select gateway nodes based
on single QoS metric, for instance link availability, link capacity etc. or multiple non-QoS …

When MANET is connected to the Internet, it is important for the mobile nodes to detect an
available gateway providing an access to the Internet. This paper introduces an Internet …
