Abstract

Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) is one of the most often used routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET). MANET networks represent an up-to-date and perspective way of communication with extensive application area. Since the topology of wireless ad hoc networks can change dynamically, the accurate configuration of routing mechanisms is very important. In order to estimate proper settings of the routing protocol parameters a simulation tool can be used. The paper introduces an analytical evaluation of parameters affecting the efficiency of the OLSR routing protocol. The results of this analysis are then used to calculate optimal values for different scenarios. The impact of optimized configuration parameters have been evaluated in the OPNET Modeler simulation environment and the corresponding results are described in the paper.
