OLSR ROUTING FOR MILITARY AD-HOC NETWORKS

摘要

Wireless ad-hoc networks do not require any preexisting infrastructure and support mobility. Thus, they arc excellent candidates for military tactical networks. In such networks, multihop routing is often needed. In this paper, we report measures made on an OLSR platform consisting of eigtheen nodes implementing OLSR, a proactive routing protocol proposed as experimental RFC. Some nodes are embedded in vehicles. This platform is representative of real military tactical configurations in urban areas.
