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.
