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 …

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are typically considered as stand-alone, autonomous
networks that support multihop communication without relying on any existing infrastructure …

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 …

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous collection of independent nodes
cooperating together to form an infrastructure less network spontaneously. For increasing …

To enhance the access performance when connecting of MANET and Internet via multiple
gateways, a gateway selection scheme using improved genetic algorithm was proposed …

Integrated Internet-MANET (IIM) architecture is a hybrid network which is an interconnection
of the wired Internet and wireless MANET. This interconnection is facilitated through …

Integration of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) into infrastructure-based networks allows
mobile users to access other networks. At a network boundary, some node with multiple …

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

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 …

Since Internet gateways route all packets to and from the Internet, they are likely to become
the traffic bottleneck between Ad Hoc networks and the Internet. Although multiple Internet …
