A New Routing Protocol for Heterogeneous Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Bahareh Shafaie, Marjan Kuchaki Rafsanjani

“…Homogeneous Mobile Ad hoc Networks are networks in which all nodes have the same sources and capabilities, and this is in contrast with nature of MANETs because nodes are independent and have different sources, capabilities (such as battery lifetime, bandwidth, transmission range,...) and mobility. In this paper, we improve one of proactive routing protocols named OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing Protocol) so that this protocol becomes appropriate for HMANET and do not lose its capability and scalability. …”
