Progressive Routing Protocol using Hybrid Analysis for MANETs

Abstract — In this paper, we proposed a replacement hybrid multipath routing protocol for MANET known as Hybrid Multipath Progressive Routing Protocol for MANET (HMPRP), during this work we improve the performance of accepted MANET routing protocols, namely, the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol and use of their most popular properties to formulate a replacement Hybrid routing protocol using the received signal strength. The proposed routing protocol optimizes the information measure usage of MANETs by reducing the routing overload and overhead. This proposed routing protocol additionally extends the battery lifetime of the mobile devices by reducing the specified variety of operations for (i) Route determination (ii) for packet forwarding. Simulation results are used to draw conclusions regarding the proposed routing algorithm and compared it with the AODV, OLSR, and ZRP protocol. Experiments carried out based on this proposed algorithm, shows that better performance are achieved with regard to AODV, OLSR, and ZRP routing algorithm in terms of packet delivery ratio, throughput, energy consumed and end-to-end packet delay
