ABSTRACT
This work introduces the implementation of the “iOLSR” protocol, an extension of the OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) protocol tailored for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), using NS-2 (Network Simulator 2). The iOLSR protocol offers dynamic adaptability in control message intervals, enhancing the efficiency of communication in resource-constrained WSN environments. This abstract aims to provide a brief overview of the NS-2 simulation code used in the paper “iOLSR: OLSR for WSNs Using dynamically Adaptive Intervals” to facilitate its use by students and researchers.
The simulation code incorporates modifications to the standard OLSR protocol to implement the dynamic adaptation of control message intervals. The NS-2 simulation script, written in TCL (Tool Command Language), includes configuration parameters for the wireless sensor network, node settings, and traffic patterns. Through this simulation, students can observe and analyze the performance of the iOLSR protocol in comparison to traditional OLSR under varying network conditions.
To utilize this simulation code, students are encouraged to explore the intricacies of WSNs, the OLSR protocol, and the innovative features introduced by iOLSR. By executing the simulation, students can gain practical insights into the adaptability and effectiveness of iOLSR, fostering a deeper understanding of routing protocols in the context of Wireless Sensor Networks.
