D. OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing Protocol)
OLSR is a table driven routing protocol. It is a Radio Type 802.11b 802.15.4
version of link state routing. Each node selects a set of its
neighbour nodes as multipoint relays(MPRs). These MPRs MAC Protocol 802.11 802.15.4
are used to form a route from the given node to any Traffic Type CBR CBR
destination in the network and to facilitate efficient flooding
of control messages in the network. Its main operation is
updating and maintaining information in variety of tables. It Scenarios and simulation for both the networks are shown
has three control messages: HELLO message, Topology below:-
control message and Multiple Interface Declaration.

E. ZRP (Zone Routing Protocol)


ZRP combines advantages of table driven and on
demand driving protocol. According to the application it
selects the method. It uses table driven method to
communicate in node’s local neighbourhood, which is known
as Zone of that node and uses on demand method when node
had to communicate outside its zone. ZRP divides
surrounding in different zones with different radius, which
overlap each other. ZRP has few components as: IERP, IARP
and BRP.
IERP-IntErzone Routing Protocol, a reactive routing protocol
that eliminates the need of nodes.
IARP-IntrAzone Routing Protocol, a proactive protocol that
keeps up to date view of the zone topology.
BRP-Bordercast Resolution Protocol, controls traffic between
zones. Fig.1. Scenario for Ad-hoc Network

III. SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT


For this analysis Qualnet 5.0.2 Network Simulator is used to
evaluate the performance of AODV, DSR, DYMO, OLSR and
ZRP in Mobile Ad-hoc Network and Wireless Sensor
Network. MAC Protocol used for MANET is IEEE 802.11b
and for WSN is IEEE 802.14. In MANET 15 nodes and 2
CBR sources are used. In WSN also 15 nodes are used, where
14 nodes are connected with node 1 through CBR. For WSN,
node 1 is static i.e. there will be no movement in this node and
node 2-15 will have random waypoint mobility model. Node 1
is a full function device and work as a PAN coordinator and
other nodes 2-15 are reduced function device in sensor
network. For both the scenarios area is 500m * 500 m. and
mobility model is random waypoint with mobility of 10mbps.
Scenario properties are described in following table:-

In MANET maximum packets are received from in
OLSR i.e. 22 and remaining protocols (AODV, DSR, DYMO,
OLSR and ZRP) receive only 3.

DSR forwards only 220 packets.
