Comparison of routing protocols in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks

Routing protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks are faced with challenges such as sequential topology variation, low transmission power and asymmetric connections. It has been proved that both proactive and reactive protocols are non-functional with these conditions. Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) blends the proactive and reactive protocols benefits and the zone topology plan for each node is kept in it timely. In this work, the zone routing protocol is implemented and compared with proactive and reactive protocols which the experiment results are presented.
