Experimenting a Layer 2-based Approach to Internet Connectivity for Ad Hoc Networks

چکیده
A prerequisite for the mass-market deployment of multihop ad hoc technologies is the capability of integrating with existing wired infrastructure networks. However, current solutions to support connectivity between ad hoc networks and the Internet are based on complex mechanisms, such as Mobile-IP and IP tunnelling. In this paper we propose a lightweight solution based on simple Layer-2 mechanisms. Experiments carried out in a real test-bed confirm the validity and efficiency of our approach.

متن کاملThe Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...
