ABSTRACT Global connectivity to Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is necessary to access
the Internet services from the MANET. Nodes in a MANET that connect it to the Internet are …

In this paper, we present our design and implementation of load-balanced gateway
discovery routing protocol called LBGD-AODV. A gateway node in a wireless mesh network …

Integration of MANET with internet requires gateways for increasing its usability and
accessibility to fixed IP networks. However, such integrations prove complex owing to …

The integration of Internet and ad hoc mobile network exhibit differences in their network
architecture. Thus, the interconnection is achieved by using Internet gateways, which acts as …

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 …

Integrating nodes in a MANET to the Internet require either a connection to the Internet or
they can connect to the Internet through the Internet gateways or servers. For the second …

In MANET, nodes are able to communicate with each other for a short range only. To extend
the communication range of MANET, an Internet gateway is used which acts as a bridge …

Ubiquitous Internet access has become a reality with the proliferation of mobile devices. One
of the architectures which have the potential to abet ubiquitous Internet access is the …

Integrating nodes in a MANET to the Internet require either a connection to the Internet or
they can connect to the Internet through the Internet gateways or servers. For the second …

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 …
