ABSTRACT

An ad hoc wireless network consists of mobile terminals communicating with each other without the help of traditional infrastructure for communication. Optimized Link State Protocol (OLSR) is a proactive routing protocol, wherein routes are discovered and updated continuously and available when required. Route refresh interval time plays a very crucial role for scalable networks with constrained bandwidths. In this paper we propose to evaluate OLSR routing protocol in a high mobility network with different route refresh intervals. The throughput and delivery ratio are also studied to evaluate the efficiency of the routing protocol
