Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the proactive QoS routing in ad-hoc networks. We discuss how to support bandwidth QoS routing in OLSR (Optimized Link State Protocol), a best-effort proactive MANET routing protocol. Using OPNET, we simulate the algorithm, exploring both traditional routing protocol performance metrics and QoS-specific metrics. Our analysis of the simulation results shows that the additional message overhead generated by the proactive QoS routing have a negative impact on the performance of the routing protocol. Given the negative results, we identified research areas that would be worthwhile investigating in order to obtain better performance results.KeywordsIdle TimePacket Delivery RatioOptimize Link State RoutGood BandwidthBandwidth ConditionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
