The Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has become an increasingly popular area of research during the last decade. As an emerging fourth generation wireless topology, the main goal of the MANET will be to seamlessly connect mobile devices anywhere and anytime. Recently, the introduction of Ultra-WideBand (UWB) technology has become a promising candidate to support MANET's and research in this area has been extensive over the last few years due to its powerful capabilities such as the large Band Width (BW) available and the high data rates possible. Routing protocols enable mobile hosts (or nodes), such as laptops and cellular telephones, the ability to communicate with each other and the design of routing protocols has encouraged researchers to investigate and develop new strategies that establish and maintain connections between mobile nodes. The main aim of the research presented in this paper was to design and implement an efficient routing protocol for MANET based on UWB technology. The Location Aided Routing (LAR) protocol scheme 1, is first considered in order to satisfy the requirements of the proposed routing protocol, and combines the advantages of the requested zone in LAR, and the dynamic extended zones in the modified schemes of LAR. The main objectives of this research was to reduce the power consumption of the mobile nodes (thus increasing the lifetime of network), reduce the network overhead, and increasing route reliability. Simulation results are then presented and show that the new protocol outperforms both the AODV and LAR1 protocols, it increases the life time of network, produce less overhead, and also provide the highest throughput.
