Path Load Balanced-Fuzzy Logic based Adaptive Gateway Discovery in integrated Internet-MANET

In this paper, we propose a modified form of the hybrid gateway discovery in integrated Internet-MANET. A modified hybrid gateway discovery approach is called an adaptive gateway discovery mechanism. Three issues are considered together in the proposed adaptive gateway discovery: the load balancing in routing of packets, the range, and periodicity of a gateway advertisement message. We address these three issues by making use of existing approaches. Based on simulation studies, we show that our approach gives better results than the existing approach.
