Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are special kind of distributed networks that comprise wireless mobile nodes which can freely and dynamically self-organize into capricious and temporary manner.The demand for ubiquitous information access and spontaneous information exchange has multiplied considerably and with predictions to grow even more within the future.To satisfy this increasing demand, new protocols standards and merchandise addressing wireless networking have emerged.Designing an appropriate routing algorithm in MANETs is very complex because of dynamic mobility, resource constraints and limited battery power.For improving the performance of MANETs, we proposed new routing algorithm called Hybrid Multipath Progressive Routing Protocol (HMPRP).In this protocol we apply the most well-liked properties a famed MANETs the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV) using the received signal strength.Using this protocol we can reduce the routing overhead and overload will optimize the bandwidth capacity of MANETs.This routing protocol is compared with the standard AODV, OLSR, and ZRP protocol.
