Abstract

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), interference plays an important role in research in network perfomance. In this paper, we propose a new Hibrid Interference-Aware Multi-path Routing Protocol (HIA-MPOLSR)based on our definition of interference for mobile ad hoc networks. To evaluate the influence of interference in network performance, we compare our protocol to typical protocol OLSR [1] in terms of packet delivery fraction, end-to-end delay, and routing overhead when the RTS/CTS mechanism is alternatively enabled and disabled. From the observation of the simulation results, we see that interference significantly decreases the network performance. Keywords: Mobile Ad Hoc Networks; Routing Protocol; OLSR; Interference
