In a smart environment, mobile devices collect all important information and share knowledge between them or with the cloud to manage resources and assets. The overhead generated by the routing protocol affects drastically the exchange of data packets between nodes, especially in dense networks. In a network without infrastructure, as sensor or mobile ad hoc networks, reducing the overhead constitutes the major reason to build a reliable and efficient network. In this paper, we present the Zone-Geographic Forwarding Rules (Z-GFR) that combines two zoning strategies to enhance the performances of mobile communication. We will study and compare the impact of the Z-GFR technique with optimized link state routing (OLSR) protocol using different partitioning methods. We will show by simulations that it scales down the overhead while it ensures a good dissemination of the topology.
