Other MANET routing approaches

• Hybrid protocols (zrp):
  
  
  • partitioning of the network into zones;
    
    
  • within a zone: one protocol (e.g. OLSR);
    
    
  • outside a zone: another protocol (e.g. AODV).
    
    
• Location based protocols (lanmar, OLSR2):
  
  
  • nodes partitioned into non-overlapping "groups";
    
    
  • each group selects a "leader";
    
    
  • within a group: one protocol (e.g. OLSR);
    
    
  • between groups: one protocol (e.g. OLSR), leaders act as "super nodes", aggregating traffic for the group.
