Summary:This paper presents an adaptive scheme for gateway discovery in MANETs connected to the Internet. Basically, the proposed scheme reduces the flooding processes related to gateway discovery. To do so, the algorithm dynamically adjusts the interval of emission of the gateway advertisement messages to the need for updated routes to the gateway. The tuning is supported by the analysis of the spatial distribution of nodes in the MANET and by the impact that the relative position of nodes has on the route lifetimes. The simulations show that the proposed adaptive mechanism outperforms the conventional schemes: it decreases network saturation while it achieves lower end-to-end delay and it minimizes the routing overhead.
