Kunz: Energy-Efficient MANET Routing: Ideal vs. Realistic Performance
Modifying OLSR to Propagate State Information
,Extend Hello and TC messages to include a node’s state information and a timestamp, in addition to a node’s address etc.
,Store this information in the relevant OLSR information bases (topology base, neighourhood base, etc.)
,Search through databases to determine most recent value every time a node’s residual energy level is needed
,Note: does not, per se, require nodes to be synchronized, as we only compare entries for the same node/clock. But if nodes were to be coarsely synchronized, we could then use this to reason about age of information as well….
,Alternative using sequence numbers has similar overheads and would not allow reasoning about information age.
