Integration of Mobile IP with Mobile Adhoc Network, a Conceptual Study

Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is collection of node that can communicate with each other without any existing infrastructure. The basic problem with mobile ad hoc network is when nodes are moving away from MANET, it cannot use the resources of networks, in order to make more utilities of MANET nodes it is necessary to be connected with other networks. Mobile IP is standard protocols which support the mobility in wireless Internet environment to keep connected mobile host roam. MOBILE IP provisioning to MANET nodes can play an important role in order to utilized foreign network's resources

Integration of Mobile IP and MANET solve the problem MANET increase its service area and communicate with for away node of another MANET it also enjoy the service of Internet with help of MOBILE IP.

I have studied different communication mechanism of Mobile IP and MANET to use the Internet facilities as well as resources of foreign networks. Some performance analysis has been done having Mobile IP and different MANET scenarios, overall studies show that integration of Mobile IP with MANET is more beneficial for MANET users.
