Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are increasingly becoming attractive for usage in time-critical applications and collaborative computing. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a MANET test bed for different scenarios in indoor and outdoor stairs environment considering throughput and packet loss metrics. We analyze the behavior of Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. We design and implement four experimental scenarios in indoor and outdoor stairs environments and compare their performance behaviour for different number of hops.
