An Optimized Internetworking Strategy of MANET and WLAN
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose internetworking strategy of WLAN and MANET. Both WLAN and MANET are based on IEEE 802.11 for MAC layer protocol while they adopt different mode, such as infrastructure and ad-hoc. To support internetworking between different IEEE 802.11 modes, switching algorithm on mobile node is proposed. This algorithm is mainly affected by user’s preference, not only by signal strength. For MANET routing protocol, OLSR is employed, which is a proactive protocol and has optimally reduced signal broadcasting overhead. The effect of distances between a mobile node and MANET Gateway which is a link to WLAN is proved when the mobile node resides on MANET. Also, latencies between handoff from WLAN to MANET and handoff from MANET to WLAN are compared.

Adaptive Mode Switching for Internetworking of MANET and WLAN Based on HMIPv6
For extending of hot-spot of wireless LAN (WLAN), [1] proposes internetworking scheme between WLAN and mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), which employ the same layer-2 protocol with different mode. Compared to internetworking schemes between UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems) and WLAN [3-4], the scheme from [1] has relatively low overhead and latencies because WLAN and MANET are phy...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid MANET Routing Protocols on IEEE 802.11 Standard
MANET consists of mobile nodes which exchange information dynamically among them over wireless links. The most important element of MANET is Routing Protocols which are needed to handle dynamic communication and also find route so as to deliver data packets to the correct destination. Performance of routing protocols is an important issue because of dynamic nature of MANET. In this paper perfor...
