Hybrid Wireless Networks have gained a lot of importance because of its ultra-high performance in today’snetworking world. Hybrid Wireless Networks consists of both Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) and InfrastructureWireless Networks. MANETs are infrastructreless and most probably short lived networks where mobile nodescommunicate directly through peer-to-peer. Infrastructure Wireless Network requires a central point of access. As thereare advantages of using these two together there are also disadvantages that leads to high overload, increase in numberof hotspots, low reliability. Thus, we need routing protocols to increase the network scalability and capacity. However,these flaws will be overcome using Distributed Three-Hop Routing Protocol leading to low overhead, reduced number ofhotspots and increase in reliability. A distributed Three-Hop Routing protocol (DTR) divides a message stream intonumber of segments and then transmit these segments in a distributed manner. It makes full use of widespread basestations using its high speed ad-hoc interface and reduces congestion using its cellular interface. DTR reduces theoverhead by eliminating the work for route discovery and maintenance. Finally we can improve the lifetime of thenetwork by analyzing the impact of limiting the hop count. This is done by calculating the energy efficiency of everynode.
