Paper Abstract:
|
The connection of mobile ad hoc networks into the Internet has led to the proposal of several mechanisms that complete the ad hoc routing procedures in order to facilitate a proper use of the Access Router. Most of the proposed mechanisms require a dedicated and fixed entity acting as the Internet Gateway. This demand prevents MANET from operating in scenarios prepared for one-hop Wireless LAN where a Gateway is not previously installed. One possible solution is described in the mobile multi-gateway support that transfers the gateway functionalities to a component of the MANET. Due to this transfer, multi-hop ad hoc networks get the flexibility to be integrated into the Internet in scenarios prepared for one-hop WLAN. However, this transfer also implies some significant effects on the network performance that depends on the considered traffic (uplink/downlink). This paper studies the performance of this mechanism and shows the asymmetric behavior that can be achieved when this support is employed. |
