Manet Node Based Mobile Gateway with Unspecific Manet Routing Protocol
Yijun Mo, Jing Huang, Benxiong Huang · 2006
Integrating mobile ad hoc network (Manet) with Internet will facilitate the trend to an all-IP wireless environment. In this paper, we propose a novel integration mechanism of Internet and Manet. In the architecture, Manet nodes (with or without mobile IP support) access the Internet using the mobile hosts with mobile IP as the gateways. It is superior to fixed gateway architecture. We develop the mobile gateway registration, discovery, advertisement and invalidation algorithm in that infrastructure. The problem of load-balance for multi-gateway can be alleviated with those algorithms. In addition, our technology does not rely on any specific Manet routing protocol
