In this paper, we consider a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) in which mobile nodes can
access the Internet via a stationary gateway node or access point. These gateways act as …

In ad hoc networks with Internet connectivity, an Internet gateway (IG) is used to connect ad
hoc mobile nodes to the Internet. Multiple Internet gateways may be deployed in order to …

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

With the standardization of IEEE 802.11, there has been an explosive growth of wireless
local area networks (WLAN). Recently, this cost effective technology is being deployed …

The gateway selection is an essential issue in hybrid mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).
Current independent and random selections without supporting routing negotiation protocol …

With the advent of future wireless networks consisting of an integration of different
heterogeneous wireless technologies, the interconnection of MANETs to fixed IP networks is …

The paper first gives an overview of the required functions for providing Internet connectivity
and mobility management for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Internet gateway selection …

Integration of Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with the fixed Internet has paid immense
attention in the field of heterogeneous networks. Such integration has many advantages and …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a novel gateway (GW) selection protocol in hybrid Mobile Ad hoc
Networks (MANETs). We focus on the situation that occurs when specialized, sensitive data …
