Design and Performance Analysis of Hybrid Protocols in MANET

The infrastructure-less network which is recognized as MANET is the major topic of discussion for the advancement in the field of technology and communication. MANETs are self-configuring which increases their utility. These auto-configuring networks change their topology automatically according to the requirement. The major problem or issue which is identified with the use of MANET can be its performance related to transfer of data packets. There are various researches which have been made over the time to identify the issues and address solutions to them. In this research, we have tried to make an effort in the improvement of MANET network with the development of the technology and approaches. The conventional methods which were used in MANET are recognized as DSR, TORA, and GRP, but still, the performance issues exist. Thus, we have tried work over the idea of combining two different approach models to develop a hybrid technique which can prevent the loss of data and information and increase transfer rate. We have developed a hybrid GRP-TORA combined approach which has shown the results in favor of improvement. The hybrid model has helped to reduce the energy consumption and ensure greater packet data transfer ratio.
