Experiments with OLSR Routing in a MANET

چکیده
Wireless ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are autonomous, self-configuring and adaptive networks. Their ability to adapt themselves to dynamic, random and rapidly changing multihop topologies is given by a multihop routing protocol. In this paper, we describe experiments made with a real MANET consisting of 18 nodes implementing the OLSR routing protocol operating over radio with IEEE 802.11 hardware. More precisely, we report measurements that were made in the areas of (i) the speed of deployment, (ii) the adaptability to topology changes, (iii) the mobility support, and (iv) the dependability. Measures show that a MANET equipped with OLSR routing meets most requirements of future applications such as rescue applications or military tactical applications in urban context.

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...
