Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks are data networks entirely made up of end user communication terminals (known as nodes). Each node in the network can act as an information sink (i.e. a receiver), a source and a router. All nodes have a transmission range, which is limited by their transmission power, attenuation and interference. Recently, a number of routing protocols have been designed to overcome limited bandwidth in the wireless medium, limited power supply, mobility and routing overhead. These protocols are classified into three different categories: Proactive Routing Protocols, Reactive Routing Protocols and Hybrid Routing Protocols. In this paper, we provide overview of hybrid routing protocols, Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), Hybrid Cluster Routing (HCR) and AnthocNet. The comparison of Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), Hybrid Cluster Routing (HCR) and AnthocNet are analysed on the basis of network performance parameters Throughput, Load, Packet Delivery Ratio using simulator OPNET 14.0
