Educational and Business MANETs are a different class of networks that are instantiated for the cause and get abandoned as the task is over. Such for-the-purpose networks have a limited span and may occasionally be interfacing with any surrounding networks. The proposed protocol, Energy Efficient Integrated Routing Protocol (E

IRP), is a layer 2 enhancement that suggests an upgradation to IEEE 802.11 to support service oriented routing for minimizing the energy consumption over the network. Enhancing layer 2 for these tasks relieves higher layers to implement other features like security and application specific control structures. The protocol can perform Unicasting, Multicasting and Broadcasting in a seamlessly integrated fashion. E

IRP does not require any delivery infrastructure and has provision for non-participating nodes to sleep. Thus the protocol is expected to perform well in terms of bandwidth utilization and energy efficiency for a low set-up time.
