Evaluation of OLSR Protocol Implementations using Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP)

Abstract

Adhoc networks are part of IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standard also called Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) and work as Peer to Peer network by default. These work without the requirement of an Infrastructure (such as an Access Point) and demands specific routing requirements to work as a multi-hop network. There are various Adhoc network routing protocols which are categorized as Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid. OLSR (a proactive routing protocol) is one of widely used routing protocols in adhoc networks. In this paper an empirical study and analysis of the various OLSR implementations (by different research groups and individuals) has been conducted in light of Relative Opinion Scores (ROS) and Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) Online System software. Based on quantitative comparison of results, it is concluded that OLSRd project is most updated and best amongst six variants of OLSR protocol implementations.
