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 …

This paper proposes a QoS-based gateway selection mechanism to select an appropriate
gateway based on three QoS metrics: traffic load of gateway, path quality from MANET node …

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 …

Gateway discovery is a fundamental process in interconnecting mobile ad hoc network with
the Internet. Traditional gateway discovery algorithms adopt the method of periodically …

This paper proposes an optimum mechanism to select appropriate gateway based on
multiple node metrics: remaining energy, mobility, and number of hops, for interconnected …

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 …

Recently, the idea of integrating mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and the Internet are
being explored to expand the reach of the Internet to MANET access networks. It will get us …

Ad hoc networking allows portable devices to establish communication independent of a
central infrastructure. The Integration of the MANETs and infrastructure networks such as …

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 …

When an ad hoc network is connected to the Internet, it is important for the mobile nodes to
detect the available gateways providing access to the Internet. Therefore, a gateway …
