摘要:In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), the mobility concept is an essential element of network performances. MANETs has a scalability constraint in terms of reachability and stability. Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is a proactive routing protocol for wireless mobile ad hoc networks and the key idea behind it is to improve Multi-Point Relays (MPRs) selection algorithm. This paper proposed a new mechanism based on, a spatial mobility which speed, acceleration and direction Prediction-based Localization are included; named, Stability of Estimated Spatial Relation MPR. Furthermore, this mobility value will be exchanged between nodes using HELLO message and it will be used as a condition when a node selects its MPRs set. In addition, simulation results by Network Simulator 3 (NS3) have revealed that the improved algorithm could improve network performances in terms of throughput, delay and lost packets. Similarly, the proposed algorithm can be used as a functional mobility mechanism to improve MANETs.
