the proactive OLSR, given the static environment of the WMN. Moreover, AODV and OLSR are
the base of the proposed RM-AODV and RA-OLSR 802.11s standard.
17.7 Wireless Mesh Network Modeling and Simulation
e goal of this simulation is to evaluate whether our scalable and low-cost municipal WMN
design using the existing 802.11 equipment is feasible and to reveal the strengths and weaknesses
of the proposed hierarchical infrastructure as compared to the conventional flat one as discussed
in Section 17.5.
