IEEE: COMPOSITE METRIC FOR QUALITY OF SERVICE ROUTING IN OLSR

[ashwin kumar]

Quality of Service (QoS) support in mobile ad hoc
networks (MAVETs) is a very challenging task because
of the dynamic topology, limited resources and wireless
link characteristics. The Optimized Link State Routing
Protocol (OLSR) is a pro-active routing protocol for
MANETs. The metric used in OLSR protocol is hop
count, which is not suitable for the wireless environment
due to its inherent dynamic link characteristics. In this
paper we discuss the different approaches used to add
QoSfinctionality in OLSR. Most of these techniques are
centered on using one or two performance metrics. We
propose a composite metric using multiple parameters to
find the optimal route given the QaS constraints.
