An ever-growing demand for coverage extension, higher data-rates and improved
connectivity has motivated the interconnection of mobile ad-hoc networks to fixed IP …

One of the most important aspects affecting the overall performance of hybrid ad hoc
networks is the efficient selection of Internet gateways. We have analytically modeled …

The communication range of devices within a mobile ad hoc network is inherently restricted.
One way of enhancing the communication range of a mobile ad hoc network, is to …

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 …

Ubiquitous Internet connectivity is to connect all devices to the Internet at any time and any
place. To achieve this ubiquitous Internet connectivity, we consider integrating the Internet …

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 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 …

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 …

Since gateways are generally used to integrate the Internet with MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc
Networks), gateway discovery is important for MANET mobile nodes to obtain the route to a …
