Rohit Kumar, Navdeep Kaur, Gurjeevan Singh . A Competitive Study among different Hybrid Routing Protocols using High Quality GSM Voice as Input. International Journal of Computer Applications. 106, 17 ( November 2014), 14-16. DOI=10.5120/18611-9832
Mobile adhoc networks are self-configuring networks having dynamic topology which don't require any type of pre-installed infrastructure. All the nodes in MANETs perform the operations of both host as well as router. The nodes in MANET should be able to relay the traffic from one node to another since the communicating nodes can be out of range. Due to various applications that use MANETs for the purpose of wireless roaming, it is a recent research area. There are different characteristics for research like synchronization, routing, bandwidth considerations etc. The main concentration of this paper is on routing protocols of MANETs. There are several routing protocols proposed for MANETs, out of which different types of hybrid routing protocols are chosen for the research work. This paper basically examines the performance of diverse routing protocols based on different performance metrics like number of packets sent, number of packets received, number of packets dropped etc[7,13].
