Abstract

Wireless ad-hoc networks are autonomous,self-configurating and adaptive. Thus, such networks areexcellent candidates for military tactical networks, wheretheir ability to be operational rapidly and without any centralizedentity is essential. As radio coverage is usually limited,multihop routing is often needed; this is achieved by anad-hoc routing protocol supporting nodes mobility. In thispaper, we present performance measurements of the OLSR(Optimized Link State Routing) protocol routing, presentedat the IETF MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork) workinggroup for ad-hoc networks. The measurements are performedat CELAR site on a platform representative of militaryscenarios in urban areas. It consists of ten routers,eight PDAs and laptops using a IEEE 802.11b radio interfaceand implementing OLSR v7. Some nodes are mobilewithin vehicles. The emphasis of the measurements is onthe performance of the network (route repair, network convergencespeed, user traffic performance) in presence of thismobility.
