An ad hoc wireless network has a dynamic nature that leads to constant changes in its network topology.
As a consequence, the routing problem becomes more complex and challengeable, and it probably is the
most addressed and studied problem in ad hoc networks. Based on the routing information update
mechanism Ad hoc wireless networks routing protocols are classified into Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid
Routing Protocols. Out of these, Hybrid Routing Protocol combines the best futures of the first two
categories. The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is one of the hybrid routing protocols in which every
network node proactively maintaining routing information about its routing zone, while reactively
acquiring routes to destinations beyond the routing zone. In this paper, we proposed the Independent Zone
Routing Protocol (IZRP) an enhancement of the Zone Routing Protocol which allows adaptive and
distributed configuration for the optimal size of each node’s routing zone, on per-node basis. We
demonstrate the performance of IZRP with various performance metrics. Furthermore, we compared the
performance of IZRP and ZRP by considering performance metrics Packet Delivery Fraction, Normalized
Routing Overhead and End-to-End Delay.

In this paper, we unified two new algorithms, i.e., to selectively Bordercast the control packets in order to reduce the network load by limiting the number of control packets when ZRP searches for a new route. The second algorithm is proposed to optimize the performance of Query control mechanisms for the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) for mobile ad hoc networks for communication on an urban terrain. ZRP proactively maintains routing information for a local neighbourhood (routing zone), while reactively acquiring routes to destinations beyond the routing zone. This hybrid routing approach can be more efficient than traditional Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) framework. However, without proper query control techniques, the ZRP cannot provide the expected reduction in the control traffic. Our proposed algorithm enhances the structure of the routing zone to provide enhanced detection and prevention of overlapping queries. These techniques can be applied to single or multiple channel mobile adhoc networks to improve both the delay and control traffic performance of ZRP. Our new algorithm allows ZRP to provide routes to all accessible network nodes, with less control traffic than purely proactive link state or purely reactive route discovery, and with less delay than conventional flood searching. To further improve the efficiency of Enhanced ZRP, our future work shall propose a new algorithm to overcome the generation of periodic updates in the routing table to reduce the control traffic. Thus by the implementation of our proposed algorithm the time taken to receive the first packet will be minimized, which results in better throughput. The performance evaluation via simulations using a well known simulator QualNet version 5.0 shows that the new approach has better performance than the traditional ZRP.

Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is a hybrid protocol that combines the advantages of both the proactive and reactive protocols. It is classified as: Intra Zone Routing, which uses hop count of the N-neighbors using proactive techniques and Inter Zone Routing, which includes the rest of the network excluding the N-neighbors using reactive techniques. In anycast routing, the packets are routed to the most nearest anycast group member. In this paper, a literature review about Zone Routing Protocol and Anycast addressing is presented along with the concept where we propose to use Anycast addressing in Zone Routing Protocol assuming that the destination as a member of anycast address, is proposed. This idea is proposed for the consistent improvement of performance of Zone Routing Protocol.

The Adhoc network is a wireless network without a fixed infrastructure, and this usually established on a temporary basis for a particular purpose like emergency rescue or military communication. Energy management in adhoc networks deal with the process of managing energy resources that means the controlling of battery discharge, modifying the transmission power, and scheduling the power sources for the increasing of lifetime of the nodes in an adhoc network. In adhoc network all mobile nodes are powered by energy constraint battery, it could be difficult for a mobile node to sustain for a long time if it send and receive data more often. To solve this problem we describe the energy efficient routing in mobile adhoc network using Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) and anycast addressing and we also simulate using NS2 simulator. The zone routing protocol behave as hybrid routing, proactive (table driven) and reactive (on demand) methodology to provide scalable routing in the ad-hoc network.
