Comparative Analysis and Examination of a Hybrid Multi-Meshed Tree (HMMT) Routing Protocol For MANET

There has been a major concern in the utilization of an efficient routing protocol that should be versatile and ready to maintain router regardless of the changing network connectivity. Parallel expansion in the interest for fast deployable, short-term systems that work with no centralized base station have been studied. MANETs venture to turn the imagination of getting connected anywhere and at any time into a reality, in this work, we examined a cluster-based routing by utilizing a multi-meshed tree model. The key objective is to decrease the control overheads needed in the organization and maintenance of network while providing a robust connectivity. We proposed a (HMMT) Hybrid Multi-Meshed Tree, routing protocol features a combination of Proactive and Reactive (Hybrid) routing. This proposed protocol solves the challenges associated with dynamic adaptation and improved connectivity via a Hierarchical Cluster based method along with a Virtual Identifier. The simplicity of its algorithm and reduced message complexity are suitable for limited power, resource constrained networks and limited bandwidths are its major advantages.
