Abstract
Internet-connected multi-hop ad hoc networks enable Internet access for mobile nodes that are beyond direct communication range of an access point or base station. However, due to mobility or insufficient Quality of Service (QoS), mobile nodes need to perform handoffs between such networks. We propose a novel concept, which enables mobile nodes to query capabilities (e.g. available QoS or pricing) of adjacent Internet-connected multi-hop networks prior to the actual handoff. By this, mobile nodes can directly handoff to the most suitable network.
