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 …

When a node in an ad hoc network wants Internet access, it needs to obtain information
about the available gateways and it should select the most appropriate of them. In this work …

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 …

Control messages produced in the gateway discovery process degrade the performance of
hybrid mobile ad hoc networks. Thus, the optimisation is required to release resources for …

In the last years, many authors have addressed the problem of interconnecting mobile ad
hoc networks (MANET) to the Internet, via one or more attachment points called gateways …

Gateway Discovery in Internet-connected MANETs allows the stateless address
configuration as well as the update of the routes to external hosts. Similar to conventional ad …

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 …

The integration of mobile ad hoc networks into IP-based access networks demands the
presence of a gateway which is responsible for propagating some configuration parameters …

To integrate mobile ad hoc networks with the fixed Internet, it is important for mobile nodes to
obtain the information of available gateways. To achieve this purpose, gateways periodically …

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 …
