P-OLSR: Position-based optimized link state routing for mobile ad hoc networks
Sachin Sharma · 2009
Optimized link state routing (OLSR) protocol is a table-driven proactive routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The key idea behind this protocol is to reduce the control message overheads by marking subset of neighbors as multi-point relays (MPRs). In this paper, we discuss problems of OLSR or other routing protocols that are due to mobility of nodes. We integrate our solutions to OLSR protocol and call it as Position-based OLSR (P-OLSR). Performance evaluation of OLSR and P-OLSR is done through NS simulation. Simulation results show that P-OLSR outperforms OLSR with respect to packet delivery, throughput, latency and normalized overheads.
