Abstract

With the current increase in ad hoc mobile networks in public domains (e.g. airports, cities, etc.), and the widespread use of the IEEE 802.11 standard in wireless LAN, there is a growing need to handle and manage fast mobility. Optimized link state routing protocol (OLSR) is a proactive protocol that enables routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Fast-OLSR is a new extension of OLSR designed to meet the need for fast mobility in ad-hoc networks. Combining mobile-IP with fast-OLSR ad-hoc routing could offer a complimentary solution to the UMTS or fourth generation (4G) mobile networks. In these mobile wireless networks greatly overlapping coverage areas can be produced. In this paper, we evaluate the performances of fast-OLSR in an overlapping coverage context.
