I. INTRODUCTION A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) [1] is a collection of mobile nodes which communicate with each other via wireless link either directly or relying on other nodes as routers. The operators of MANETs dont depend on preexisting infrastructure or base station. Network nodes in MANETs are free to move randomly. Due to mobility of nodes, network topology of MANET may change dynamically without turning to any existing centralized administration [2]. All network activities such as discovering the topology and delivering data packets have to be executed by the nodes themselves, either individually or collectively.In MANETs every node is a potential router for other nodes. The task of specifying a routing protocol for a mobile wireless network is not a trivial one. The main problem in mobile networking is the limited bandwidth and the high rate of topological changes and link failure caused by node movement [3]. Therefore routing in Ad-Hoc wireless network play an important role for data forwarding where each mobile node can act as a relay in addition to being a source or destination node [4], [5], [6], [7]. Because of this reason, a great number of routing protocols has been developed to provide services with AdHoc Network. Mobile Ad-Hoc Routing protocols are traditionally divided into two classes (Reactive and Proactive) depending on when nodes acquire a route to a destination. Reactive protocols are characterized by node acquire and maintain routes on demand. i.e., a route to a destination is not acquire by anode until packet is not received by a destination node.Examples of reactive protocols are Ad-Hoc on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol (AODV) [9]. Proactive protocols are characterized by all nodes maintain routes to all destination

in the network at all times. Thus using a proactive protocol, a node is immediately able to route (or drop) a packet. Examples of proactive protocols include the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol OLSR [10].

II. THE OLSR PROTOCOL

An OLSR is a proactive or table driven, link-state routing

protocol. Link-state routing algorithms choose best route by determining various characteristics like link load, delay, bandwidth etc. Link-state routes are more reliable, stable and accurate in calculating best route and more complicated than hop count. To update topological information in each node,

Volume 2, issue 2, February 2012 periodic message is broadcast over the network. Multipoint relays are used to facilitate efficient flooding of control message in the network. Route calculations are done by multipoint relays to form the rout from a given node to any destination in the network. The OLSR protocol is developed to work independently from other protocols. Conceptually, OLSR contain three generic elements: a mechanism for neighbour sensing, a mechanism for efficient flooding of control traffic, and a specification of how to select and diffuse sufficient topological information in the network in order to prove optimal routes [11]. A. Neighbour Sensing In OLSR, neighbour nodes related information are gathered with HELLO messages which are send over network periodically [12]. These HELLO message detect changes in neighbour nodes and related information such as interface address, type of link symmetric, asymmetric or lost and list of neighbours known to the node. Each node update and maintain an information set, describing the neighbour and two-hop neighbour periodically after some time. B. Multi Point Relay (MPR)

IV. SIMULATION PARAMETER & MODEL

We use the OPNET modular 14.5 [14-18] to evaluate our experimental network shows the figure 3,4,and 5 are network The idea of multipoint relays is to minimize the overhead of model, node model and process model of Mobile Ad-hoc flooding message in the network by reducing redundant network consist on Number of mobile nodes distributed in retransmission in the same region. In MPR (Multi Point Relay) Circular area through wireless communication link. a node which is selected by its one hop neighbor to retransmit all the broadcast messages that it receive from other node, provided that the message is not a duplicate, and that the time to live field of the message is greater than one [12]. In OLSR protocol, Multi Point Relays use of HELLO message to find its one hop neighbor and its two hop neighbors through their response. Each node has a Multi Point Relay selection set, which indicates, which node acts as a MPR. Message is forward after the node gets new broadcast message and message senders interface address in the MPR Selector Set. MPR Selector Set is update continuously using HELLO message which are periodic because neighbor nodes is called of dynamic nature of MANET. C. Topology Control Information Topology Control messages are diffused with the purpose of providing each node in the network with sufficient linkstate information to allow route calculation [12]. TC messages are broadcast periodically by a node. Like HELLO messages with these TC messages the topological information are diffused over the entire network. A minimum criteria for the node is to send at least the link of its MPR Selector Set [10], [11]. III. PACKET FORMAT OF OLSR
