详情描述


Ad-hoc networks are infrastructure-free mobile wireless networks, where each node can move freely and self-organize into a network. As these nodes are dynamic, routing needs to be adjusted accordingly. To research and validate the performance and reliability of ad-hoc network routing protocols, researchers often use simulation systems for modeling and testing. haiOLSR is one such system designed for OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing).Ink State Routing Protocol Simulation System
