Abstract:
We propose a new routing protocol, the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), for the reconfigurable wireless networks, a large scale, highly mobile ad-hoc networking environment. The novelty of the ZRP protocol is that it is applicable to large flat-routed networks. Furthermore, through the use of the zone radius parameter, the scheme exhibits the adjustable hybrid behavior of proactive and reactive routing schemes. We evaluate the performance of the protocol, showing the reduction in the number of control messages, as compared with other reactive schemes, such as flooding.
