1 Performance Analysis of RA-OLSR in IEEE s Mesh Networks Vishnevsky V.M., Gorodov P.V., Shpilev S.A. Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Kharkevich Institute) DCCN-2007

2 Most wireless networks Devices which form network infrastructure (access points) Devices which use the infrastructure as consumers (for example, laptops) - do not provide wireless services to others! Wired network still in use

3 IEEE s Self-configuring wireless network Devices of both types may serve as network nodes Allows creating denser network between the nodes Allows avoiding conventional wired networks at all

4 IEEE s routing protocols Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP), a hybrid protocol (both pro-active and re- active) Radio Aware Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (RA-OLSR), a pro- active protocol

5 RA-OLSR Airtime Link Metric Metric: r - the rate at which the mesh point would transmit a frame of size - the frame error rate

6 RA-OLSR OLSR - optimization of a pure link state routing protocol. Based on MPRs. RA-OLSR – OLSR with improvements Attribute willingness - nodes willingness to carry traffic on behalf of other MPs. This attribute can be used for efficient power management by each device independently.

7 Network topology MP – Mesh Point GW - Gateway

8 Problem with cycles 1) 2) 3)4)

9 Experiment conditions Ideal channel conditions Traffic from End MPs to GWs Links data rate – 54 Mbps Packet – 1 Kbyte MPs have equal willingness

10 Experiment results (1) Data packet loss < 1% Path discover time = 5 – 10 s Paths to GW were never lost

11 Experiment results (2)

12 Experiment results (3)

13 Comparison with dynamic routing Data packet loss (< 1%) is ten times greater than in dynamic routing case (anyway this showing is good even for real- time video traffic) Queues content (0.23 – 3.92) instead of (0.05 – 0.15) in dynamic routing case (this queues contains not only data, but Hello, TC and Probe packets as well)
