The integrated MANET and satellite network is a natural evolution in providing local and
remote connectivity. The features of this integrated network, such as requiring no fixed …

The potential of Mobile wireless Ad hoc Networks (MANET) is significantly high. However,
MANET applications often happen in infrastructure-less or remote regions where remote …

Satellite communication is well known in providing best services where broadcasting is
essential, where terrain is hostile and very sparsely populated. It also has niche where rapid …

The flexibility of mobile wireless ad hoc networks (MANET) and global coverage of satellite
communications presented an ideal combination to provide emergency and disaster relief …

In this paper, we study the problem of gateway placement in an hybrid mobile ad hoc–
satellite network. We propose a genetic algorithm based approach to solve this multi-criteria …

Satellite networks provide complete connectivity and worldwide data transmission capability
for constructing the Internet of Things. However, because of the varying Internet of Things …

Given the fact that more than half of the world lacks a wired network infrastructure, satellite
networks are seen as an important alternative to achieve global coverage. Since most of the …

Mobile nodes in a mobile ad hoc network communicate with each other. In order to facilitate
communication of mobile nodes with fixed nodes in the Internet, gateways are used. The …

Integrating Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) to the Internet is a stimulating field in
heterogeneous networks which comprises challenging issues. The Internet connectivity is …

Future mobile networks are expected to involve systems that are based on different
technologies, such as WiFi, WiMAX, 2G/3G/3G+, LTE, and satellite. To address this scenario …
