    Gateway Routing Selection Schemes for Post Disaster Recovery in Mobile AdHoc Networks bridges the gap by providing practical guidelines for an efficient design and performance evaluation of gateway selection schemes to manage the load balancing. This book provides both theoretical background and practical evaluation of gateway selection methods using simulation methodology.

    This book has the following main features:

    • Provides good coverage in a single text on performance evaluation of gateway routing selection schemes for post disaster recovery.
    • Offers students, teachers, and researchers both theoretical and practical knowledge of system design and performance validation.
    • Enhances teaching and learning, and research capability in gateway routing selection schemes.
    • Begins each chapter with a set of learning objectives and provides chapter summary as well as review questions at the end.
    • Provides illustrations and mini-projects and a list of acronyms.

     

    Gateway Routing Selection Schemes for Post Disaster Recovery in Mobile AdHoc Networks makes the teaching, learning, and researching of gateway routing selection schemes a more active process using practical tools and exercises.
