Abstract:The communication range of devices in a wireless ad hoc network is inherently limited, but it can be enhanced by interconnecting it to a wired network like the internet, thus forming a hybrid wireless network. This interconnection to improve scalability has been achieved by using gateways, which brings the biggest overhead in WANET accessing Internet. So a mobile node in WANET has to find a route to a gateway first to communicate with the Internet host. It requires an efficient gateway discovery mechanism. The… Show more
