Routing protocols for hybrid wireless networks: a brief review

Hybrid <span>wireless networks (HWNs) are resulted from the integration of a mobile Ad hoc (MANET) and an infrastructure wireless networks. These have received increasing interest researchers for their superior performance reliability. Packet routing protocols in hybrid important to increase capacity scalability these networks, therefore, several been proposed. Routing HWNs designed implemented combining <span>the cellular transmission mode with mode. To route message intended recipient sender, use multi-hop technology. However, source node needs relay nodes, which may be either adjacent nodes or base stations depending on set parameters like bandwidth, load balancing, nearest node. This paper explores techniques enhance security, performance, protocols.</span></span>
