Quantitative Performance Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Using Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) and Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV)

Information transfer is one of a major issue in information
technology development. This is because one of basic purpose of
development of information technologies is intended to transfer
information between the parties. One of the latest developments
in information transfer is the routing called MANET (Mobile Adhoc
Network) which is used as one standard routing on the
wireless world. MANET itself is divided into two methods are
proactive routing method, which is represented by the Optimized
Link State Routing (OLSR) and reactive routing method, which is
represented by the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV).
In this research, will be conduct three different methods
qualitative performance about OLSR and AODV to see about
their implementation, and performance about those two routing
method. This qualitative method that has conduct is the
calculation method of the mathematical model, network
simulation method, and field testing methods. The network type
that have been use to this experiment is type A (using three
nodes), type B (using four nodes), type C (using 5 nodes) and for
testing a complex network (more than 10 nodes) will be used a
network simulation QualNet. Based on the testing results, we can
conclude that quantitative performance of AODV routing protocol
is better than the OLSR routing protocol in a simple network (no
more than 10 nodes), while the OLSR routing on complex
networks (more than 10 nodes) better than AODV.
