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 …

ABSTRACT A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of wireless mobile nodes without
having a fixed infrastructure. The communication between these mobile nodes is carried out …

The performance of Internet connectivity is degraded dramatically by blind rebroadcast of
gateway discovery packets when obvious unidirectional links are ignored. To overcome this …

Mobile users are expected to demand access to the Internet anywhere and anytime. In a
MANET context, a device which is about to connect to external hosts needs the route to the …

An interconnection of mobile ad hoc network and wired Internet is called Integrated Internet-
MANET. This interconnection is achieved through gateways. There are two very important …

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 …

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

This thesis analyses Internet connectivity for Mobile Ad-hoc JVETworks (MANETs). A
MANET consists of a number of mobile nodes, interconnected wirelessly, that together form …

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

One of the most important aspects a effecting the overall QoS performance of hybrid mobile
ad hoc networks is the efficient discovery of Internet gateways. So many previous papers …
