A hybrid approach to Internet connectivity for mobile ad hoc networks

چکیده
Mobile Ad Hoc networks are autonomous, infrastructureless networks that support multihop communication through IP routing. This paper examines the use of Mobile IP in order to provide global Internet connectivity to ad hoc networks that use an on-demand routing protocol. We present a hybrid scheme that uses techniques such as TTL scoping of agent advertisements, eavesdropping and caching agent advertisements to combine the advantages of proactive and reactive approaches to providing connectivity. We present simulation results to show that our approach achieves excellent connectivity while keeping overhead costs low.

A Communication Model for Adaptive Service Provisioning in Hybrid Wireless Networks
Mobile entities with wireless links are able to form a mobile ad-hoc network. Such an infrastructureless network does not have to be administrated. However, self-organizing principles have to be applied to deal with upcoming problems, e.g. information dissemination. These kinds of problems are not easy to tackle, requiring complex algorithms. Moreover, the usefulness of pure ad-hoc networks is ...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are typically considered to be stand-alone autonomous networks that support multi-hop communication without relying on an existing infrastructure. The integration of MANETs and the internet extends network coverage and facilitates hybrid wired and wireless networking. Most earlier approaches, for integrating MANETs with the internet considered fixed gateways and ...
متن کاملModeling of Network Connectivity in Multi-Homed Hybrid Ad Hoc Networks
A Hybrid Ad Hoc Network consists of self-organized and selfconfigured mobile nodes, which make use of a fixed gateway to connect to the Internet. When there are two or more gateways to the fixed network, this is referred to with MultiHomed Hybrid Ad Hoc Network. In this scenario, different networks are formed, each one associated with a different gateway. A node can maintain its connectivity to...
