Using OLSR Multipoint Relays (MPRs) to estimate node positions in a Wireless Mesh Network

چکیده
In this paper we address the problem of nodes localization in wireless heterogeneous networks, focussing particularly on anchor selection methods to estimate position. The Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR) [1] uses special nodes called Multipoint Relay (MPR) nodes to broadcast control messages within the network. We propose a novel approach based on using these Multipoint Relay (MPR) nodes as anchor nodes to estimate nodes positions. We evaluate its performance by simulation and compare it to other selection techniques such as convex hull selection and greedy selection. Key-words: Localization, Positioning, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), Selection Methods, Optimized Link State Routing protocol (OLSR), Multipoint Relay (MPR), Convex Hull.

Improving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
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...

The standard optimized link state routing (OLSR) introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint relays (MPRs), to mitigate message overhead during the flooding process. This paper propose a new algorithm for MPRs selection to enhance the performance of OLSR using particle swarm optimization sigmoid increasing inertia weight (PSOSIIW). The sigmoid increasing inertia weight has significance im...

متن کاملDirected information dissemination in vehicular ad-hoc networks
In this article, we utilize the idea of multipoint relays (MPRs) found in literature [2] to propagate accident information in a restricted way (e.g., only backwards). We devise an algorithm to identify MPRs that are geographically situated behind a particular node using only its neighbor table, and speed information of the neighboring vehicles. With the identification of the backward MPRs, it i...
