Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are becoming popular due to the abundance of mobile devices, the speed and the convenience of deployment, and the independence of network infrastructure (Chin, 2002; Royer, 1999). It is desired that MANETs be interconnected to fixed IP networks so that the Internet services can be offered to MANET nodes. In such scenarios, commonly known as hybrid ad hoc networks, mobile nodes (MNs) are viewed as an easily deployable extension to the existing infrastructure. Gateways (GWs) are installed, which can be used by MNs to communicate with nodes in the fixed network.
