The need for maintaining gateway connectivity in an ad hoc access network is vital
considering the 80/20 ratio of Internet traffic. There are several proposals of how to integrate …

Integration of MANET with the Internet is a challenging problem. It is important that
dynamically deployed wireless ad hoc networks should also gain access to Internet …

This paper presents an adaptive scheme for gateway discovery in MANETs connected to the
Internet. Basically, the proposed scheme reduces the flooding processes related to gateway …

Mobile ad hoc networks are autonomous, infrastructureless networks that can establish low
cost, limited range networks for the purpose of sharing data between devices. When an ad …

Although an autonomous mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is useful in many scenarios, work
on the integration of MANET with Internet is more desirable. In order to realize such …

A gateway discovery mechanism is necessary to make possible that wireless nodes in an ad
hoc network route their packets towards a fixed network. Real-time applications have quality …

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 …

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network
without the aid of any centralized administration or standard support services. In such an …

To combine the advantages of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and the Internet, we
propose an approach that will integrate them into a hybrid, unified network enabling MANET …

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 …
