This dissertation deals with two major topics of mobile ad hoc networks—routing protocol
and medium access protocol. A new routing protocol for ad hoc networks, called Zone …

A new routing protocol for ad hoc networks, called zone-based hierarchical link state routing,
is proposed. In this protocol, the network is divided into non-overlapping zones. Each node …

The limited scalability of the proactive and reactive routing protocols have resulted in the
introduction of new generation of routing in mobile ad hoc networks, called hybrid routing …

In ad hoc, multihop wireless networks the routing protocol is key to efficient operation. The
design of an ad hoc routing protocol is extremely challenging because of mobility, limited …

Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) provides a flexible solution for discovering and maintaining
routes in the MANET. By adopting the idea of Fisheye State Routing in ZRP, a more efficient …

In mobile ad‐hoc networks (MANETs), the nodes intercommunicate through single‐hop and
multi‐hop paths in a peer‐to‐peer fashion. Intermediate nodes between two pairs of …

Ad hoc routing protocols can be divided into two categories. One is proactive schemes, the
other is reactive schemes. Two schemes have advantage and disadvantage each other …

In this paper performance evaluations of mobile ad hoc network's protocols are made with its
quality of service factors. It is seen that mobile ad hoc networks will be an integral part of …

A hybrid routing protocol named AOHR (AODV and OLSR hybrid routing) for mobile ad hoc
networks is proposed in this paper. In AOHR, each node maintains topology information of a …

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less and decentralized network without
any physical connections. Nodes are mobile, free to move, and independent of each other …
