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.
