Band-width Efficient Multipoint Relays Selection in Optimized Link State Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

摘要

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are self organizing network, which exchange data among themselves, through single hope or multi hope. Designing an effective routing protocol is a crucial issue in MANET, due to highly dynamic topology. The author proposes BEMPRs-OLSR protocols, which reduces control overheads, by selecting Multi point relays. Multipoint relays where selected, by considering the node which is having maximum out degree, if there is a tie in that value maxim-mum bandwidth node will be consider as MPRs. The path which was formed from source to destination through MPRs, should be a loop free path, this was achieved by maintaining more the one node as MPRs before breaking the tie among the nodes, that are competing for MPRs. Simulation was performed in network simulator 2, shows that BEMPRs-OLSR performs well when compare to any other protocols.
