OLSR (Optimization Link State Routing Protocol) was designed firstly for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), but later it is used for WSNs (wireless sensor networks) and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) also. The protocol builds and maintains the route connecting source and the destination with minimum cost with the help of Hello and control messages. The OLSR protocol is applicable for high density networks. The OLSR operation allows an easy integration into existing operating system. The performance of network depends upon the routing protocol. OLSR does not give the satisfactory performance with existing values of parameters. Therefore it is necessary to modify OLSR parameters for better performance. The objective of this survey paper is to study the various techniques used for parameter tuning for OLSR and analyze the gap between these techniques. This is accomplished by simulation study of the existing techniques using NS2 simulator.
