A Combined Routing Method for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks. To make ad hoc wireless networks adaptive to different mobility and traffic patterns, this paper proposes an approach to swap from one protocol to another protocol dynamically, while routing continues.

[ECP] Networks Newsletter: Several simulation and real world studies show that certain ad hoc routing protocols perform better than others under specific mobility and traffic patterns. In order to exploit this phenomena, we propose a novel approach to adapt a network to changing conditions; we introduce "a combined routing method" that allows the network to seamlessly swap from one routing protocol to another protocol dynamically, while routing continues uninterrupted.
