Implementation of Hybrid Zonal Routing Protocol with Neighbor Coverage for reducing Routing Overhead in MANET

Abstract :

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) has been the research area since past few years. It is a network where all the nodes are assembled together without any centralized server. Broadcasting is very efficacious and rudimentary data dissemination mechanism where each source node forwards the packets towards destination via nodes present in the network. Broadcasting in MANETs posses various challenges due to varied and random characteristics of medium as well as due to fluctuations in strength of a signal and propagation with respect to time and environment bandwidth congestion, packet collision problem. In this paper, we have implemented the combined work of Zonal routing protocol with neighbor coverage based probabilistic reoadcast protocol (NCPR), where NCPR is used for route discovery mechanism in order to reduce routing overhead problem as well as the latency. On combining NCPR with ZRP the number of retransmissions are significantly decreased thus improving the routing performance.
