Abstract

The interconnection of wireless mobile ad hoc network with the wired Internet (Integrated Internet-MANET) is facilitated through gateways which act as bridges between the heterogeneous networks. Load balancing of these gateways is a critical issue in Integrated Internet-MANET. Gateway load balancing strategies in the literature make use of traditional routing protocols like AODV and DSDV. In this paper we propose a novel gateway load balancing solution for Integrated Internet-MANET which makes use of a modified version of AODV routing protocol called WLB-ADOV. Simulation studies show that the proposed gateway load balancing mechanism performs better than the existing approaches.
