TLDR
A new routing protocol for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that equipped with directional antenna that is based on the well known protocol called Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and developed a heuristic that allows DOLSR protocol to minimize the number of the multipoint relays.
Abstract
In this paper, we proposed a new routing protocol for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that equipped with directional antenna. We named this protocol Directional Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (DOLSR). This protocol is based on the well known protocol that is called Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR). We focused in our protocol on the multipoint relay (MPR) concept which is the most important feature of this protocol. We developed a heuristic that allows DOLSR protocol to minimize the number of the multipoint relays. With this new protocol the number of overhead packets will be reduced and the End-to-End delay of the network will also be minimized. We showed through simulation that our protocol outperformed Optimized Link State Routing Protocol, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol and Ad- Hoc On demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in reducing the End-to-End delay and enhancing the overall throughput. Our evaluation of the previous protocols was based on the OPNET network simulation tool.

The performance impact of traffic patterns on routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks

TL;DR: The simulation results show that many of the conclusions drawn in previous protocol comparison studies no longer hold under the new traffic patterns, motivating the need for performance evaluation of ad hoc networks to not only include rich and diverse mobility models as has been done in the past but also include diverse traffic patterns that stress a wide set of protocol design issues.

Mobile IP and Ad Hoc Networks: An Integration and Implementation Experience

Abstract: Mobile IP has been widely accepted as a standard to support IP mobility in a wireless Internet environment to keep a session connected when a mobile host roams from subnet to subnet. Another emerging wireless network architecture that is gaining more and more popularity is the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) , which can be flexibly deployed in almost any environment without the need of infrastructure base stations. In order to move to an all-IP environment, there seems to be a growing demand to integrate these two architectures together. Typically, mobile hosts are served by access points that can connect to them directly (in one hop). In this paper, we propose to extend access points to multiple MANETs, each as a subnet of the Internet, and discuss how to support Mobile IP in such environment. Such integration is beneficial to both societies. From Mobile IP’s prospective, Forei gn Agents’ service areas are not limited to hosts within a single (wireless) hop any more. From MANET’s prospective, mobile hosts can immediately enjoy tremendous services already existing on the Internet through Mobile IP. This article reports our integration and implementation experience based on IEEE 802.11b wireless LANs. Issues such as overlapping of MANETs, dynamic adjustment of mobile agents’ service coverages, support of local broadcast and various communication scenarios are addressed. Discussion also covers required adjustments of Mobile IP to support such architecture.
