What is Hybrid Wireless Network

Chapter 69
Encyclopedia of Internet Technologies and Applications
A type of network, which interconnects MANETs to fixed IP networks. In such networks, MNs are viewed as an easily deployable extension to the existing infrastructure. GWs are installed, which can be used by MNs to communicate with nodes in the fixed network.

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.

A hybrid wireless network is the combination of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and an infrastructured network. Every local ad hoc network partition can be augmented with uplinks to a backbone network or more general the Internet, via technologies like GPRS, UMTS, or Wi-Fi. Such uplinks can be shared among the members in the local ad hoc network partitions.
