A Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a standalone network in which the communication of mobile nodes (MNs) is restricted within its own premises.To enhance the communication range of mobile nodes, MANET is connected to the Internet using Internet Gateways (IGs).Since IG is used to integrate MANET with the Internet, efficient selection of IG is important for mobile nodes to discover the routes to the IG.This paper aims to develop an adaptive IG discovery approach that dynamically modifies the proactive area.The proposed scheme considers the average number of hop count and standard deviation of hop count of all the Active Sources (ASs) which desire Internet connectivity.Simulations results show that proposed scheme based on optimum source coverage perform better than existing IG discovery mechanism.
