The residential gateway is a device that has become an integral part of home networking equipment. Discovering a Location Information Server (LIS) is a necessary part of acquiring location information for location-based services. However, discovering a LIS when a residential gateway is present poses a configuration challenge, requiring a method that is able to work around the obstacle presented...

The technical guideline TR-03109 divides between the roles of the SMGW technician and the Gateway administrator whereas the Gateway administrator gains full access to the SMGW and the service technician has only very limited access rights. In many scenarios the service technician will also need full access to the Smart Meter Gateway which means that he must be able to change its role. Federated...

In a large class of sensor network deployments, a small subset of the sensors covering the sensor field is equipped with special communications capability to communicate with operators outside the sensor field. These sensors play the role of gateways for off-field communication in the sense that all communications toor out of the field is through these nodes, and the other non-gateway nodes are...

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 existing proposals (i.e. adaptive, reactive and hybrid gateway discovery) showing that each of them is only suitable for a particular range of network parameters. We propose a new adaptive gateway discovery scheme based on th...

When Internet Key Exchange Protocol version 2 (IKEv2) is used for remote VPN access (client to VPN gateway), the gateway assigns the client an IP address from the internal network using IKEv2 configuration payloads. The configuration payloads specified in RFC 4306 work well for IPv4 but make it difficult to use certain features of IPv6. This document specifies new configuration attributes for I...

In this research paper, we introduced a gateway based energy efficient Multi hop routing protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which utilizes minimum energy. In this, Base station is located out of the sensing field and numbers of gateway nodes are deployed at the edge of sensing field. These gateway nodes are rechargeable therefore, it reduces cost. It also reduces traffic problem and r...

How to competently apportion system resource to process the client request by gateway servers is a tricky predicament. In this paper, we propose an enhanced proposal for autonomous recital of gateway servers under highly dynamic traffic loads. We have developed G/G/1 queuing model algorithm and premeditated its intricacy, so that there is lossless information repossession at each node of gatewa...

Several gateway-based congestion control mechanisms have been proposed to support an end-to-end congestion control mechanism of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). One of promising gateway-based congestion control mechanisms is a RED (Random Early Detection) gateway. Although effectiveness of the RED gateway is fully dependent on a choice of control parameters, it has not been fully investigat...

In a previous work, we build an M2M overlay network over the Internet in order to ensure private communication between M2M devices, M2M gateway and M2M applications. We propose in this paper to add the autonomic management of this overlay network. We add the self-healing and self-optimization capabilities to the M2M gateway. The M2M gateway is able to detect failures in the overlay path and rec...
