A Layer-2 Architecture for Interconnecting Multi-Hop Hybrid Ad Hoc Networks to the Internet
Overview Recently, the research on mobile ad hoc networks is departing from the view of stand-alone networks, to focus on hybrid self-organized network environments interconnected to the Internet. This type of networks is built on a mix of fixed and mobile nodes using both wired and multi-hop wireless technologies, and may be easily integrated into classical wired/wireless networking infrastructures. In this paper the authors design a lightweight and efficient architecture to build such a multi-hop hybrid ad hoc network, which will be used as a flexible and low-cost extension of traditional wired LANs. The proposed architecture provides transparent global Internet connectivity and self-configuration to mobile nodes, without requiring configuration changes in the preexisting wired LAN.
