Multipath optimized link state routing for mobile ad hoc networks
International audienceMultipath routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) address the problem of scalability, security (confidentiality and integrity), lifetime of networks, instability of wireless transmissions, and their adaptation to applications. Our protocol, called MP-OLSR (MultiPath OLSR), is a multipath routing protocol based on OLSR. The Multipath Dijkstra Algorithm is proposed to obtain multiple paths. The algorithm gains great flexibility and extensibility by employing different link metrics and cost functions. In addition, route recovery and loop detection are implemented in MP-OLSR in order to improve quality of service regarding OLSR. The backward compatibility with OLSR based on IP source routing is also studied. Simulation based on Qualnet simulator is performed in different scenarios. A testbed is also set up to validate the protocol in real world. The results reveal that MP-OLSR is suitable for mobile, large and dense networks with large traffic, and could satisfy critical multimedia applications with high on time constraints
Simulation and Performance Analysis of MP-OLSR for Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) consist of a collection of wireless mobile
nodes which dynamically exchange data without reliance on a fixed base station
or a wired backbone network, which makes routing a crucial issue for the design
of a ad hoc networks. In this paper we discussed a hybrid multipath routing
protocol named MP-OLSR. It is based on the link state algorithm and employs
periodic exchange of messages to maintain topology information of the networks.
In the mean time, it updates the routing table in an on-demand scheme and
forwards the packets in multiple paths which have been determined at the
source. If a link failure is detected, the algorithm recovers the route
automatically. Concerning the instability of the wireless networks, the
redundancy coding is used to improve the delivery ratio. The simulation in NS2
shows that the new protocol can effectively improve the performance of the
networks
Improving Energy Efficiency in MANETs by Multi-Path Routing
Some multi-path routing algorithm in MANET, simultaneously send information
to the destination through several directions to reduce end-to-end delay. In
all these algorithms, the sent traffic through a path affects the adjacent path
and unintentionally increases the delay due to the use of adjacent paths.
Because, there are repetitive competitions among neighboring nodes, in order to
obtain the joint channel in adjacent paths. The represented algorithm in this
study tries to discover the distinct paths between source and destination nodes
with using Omni directional antennas, to send information through these
simultaneously. For this purpose, the number of active neighbors is counted in
each direction with using a strategy. These criterions are effectively used to
select routes. Proposed algorithm is based on AODV routing algorithm, and in
the end it is compared with AOMDV, AODVM, and IZM-DSR algorithms which are
multi-path routing algorithms based on AODV and DSR. Simulation results show
that using the proposed algorithm creates a significant improvement in energy
efficiency and reducing end-to-end delay
