摘要：In this paper, we propose a zone based routing protocols for varying zone size. We will increase a size of a zone if the routing path is shorter and decrease zone size if the routing path is larger. If the zone size is smaller it requires larger number of cluster heads and longer path during routing so we vary the zone size according to requirement by increasing or decreasing the radius. Simulation results show the effect of increasing zone radius on received packet and on error rate. We are calculating the number of received packet and error rate for different zone radius. It shows that with increase in the zone radius the number of received packet increases and the error ratio are decreases. If zone size is small and network size is larger it needs more number of zones with the increase in zone number then more zone head are required. So the nodes more communicate with each other to make a zone head for every zone, which result into high battery consumption.
