Ad Hoc MANET mobile networks and the integration of the Multihoming concept

Abstract

In the field of telecommunications, mobility represents new practical ways of communication that are known to be vaguely flexible in terms of use; for users expect to enjoy constant and good quality service. An attempt will be make; all along this file; to introduce the concept of Multihoming to mobile networks in order to increase their strength and resistance toward the effects of mobility, along with the optimization of network resources. For this purpose, the BGP protocol has been opted for, the one which takes into charge the introduction of the Multihoming concept to Ad Hoc MANET networks; all this is achieved by its cohabitation with other Ad Hoc routing protocols. Firstly, it has been preceded by AODV for the reactive protocol category; afterwards is to deal with the OLSR for the proactive ones. This in turn, will allow us to determine the routing protocol category that fits the most the Multihoming integration as a new concept; in addition to the crucial mechanisms that should to be taken into consideration.
