A Survey On Hybrid Routing Protocols In MANETS

Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that are arbitrarily located so that the interconnections between nodes are dynamically changing. A routing protocol is used to find routes between mobile nodes to facilitate communication wi thin the network. The main goal of such an ad hoc network routing protocol is to establish correct and efficient route between a pair of mobile nodes. Route should be discovered and maintained with a minimum of overhead and bandwidth consumption. There are number of routing protocols were proposed for ad hoc networks. T he objective of this paper is to create a taxonomy of the ad hoc hybrid routing protocols, and to survey and comp are each type of hybrid protocols. We try to show the requirements considered by the different hybrid protocols, the resource limitations under which they operate, and the design decisions made by the authors
