## 5 Conclusions and Future Work

Depending on their capabilities and the nature of their usage, ad hoc networks can take on a variety of configurations. Various ad hoc networks can be linked together for the creation of an efficient and more powerful network. A multimode hybrid routing protocol is proposed in this paper that can be utilized to create a HANET including nodes from diverse ad hoc networks. Moreover, the proposed routing protocol can be implemented in the entire network or a subset of the network nodes. The smart nodes are those nodes that use the proposed routing protocol to communicate. At the same time, the smart nodes preserve the routing tables for both reactive and proactive neighbors. These nodes can adjust their routing behavior adaptively as needed. Furthermore, its default routing protocol is adjusted using a game-theoretic technique. The smart nodes progress through many steps to find the best routing protocol for themselves and the entire network. The energy level and consumption and mobility ratios are the parameters used to establish the default routing protocol for these smart nodes. We employed AODV and DSDV as base protocols in this work. Instead of these two, any type and number of protocols can be selected. With a set of finite parameters for the network nodes, linear programming can be used to implement numerous protocols by improving normalization and achieving the best solution. The consideration of multiple routing protocols could cause an uncertainty problem. A technique for making decisions under uncertainty can be created by combining game theory and linear programming.
