Abstract
With the advent of future wireless networks consisting of an integration of different heterogeneous wireless technologies, the interconnection of MANETs to fixed IP networks is an area which is becoming of paramount importance. When a node in a mobile ad hoc network wants to communicate with a node on the Internet, it has to obtain information about the available gateways. For this purpose node either can send solicitation or may depend on periodic gateway advertisement. To make efficient use of this periodic advertisement it is necessary to limit advertisement-flooding area, and also interval of sending periodic advertisement must depend on mobility and topological changes. In this paper periodic advertisement and adaptive advertisement schemes are combined for AODV-the most researched MANET (mobile ad hoc network) routing protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed complete adaptive gateway discovery mechanism is able to offer packet delivery fraction as higher as an existing approach with reduced overhead messages
