The aim of this research is to evaluate the performance of OLSR using swarm intelligence and HPSO with Gravitational search algorithm to lower the jitter time, data drop and end to end delay and improve the network throughput. Simulation was carried out for multimedia traffic and video streamed network traffic using OPNET Simulator. Routing is exchanging of information from one host to another in a network. Routing forwards packets to destination using an efficient path. Path efficiency is measured through metrics like hop number, traffic and security. Each host node acts as a specialized router in Ad-hoc networks. A table driven proactive routing protocol Optimized Link State Protocol (OLSR) has available topology information and routes. OLSR's efficiency depends on Multipoint relay selection. Various studies were conducted to decrease control traffic overheads through modification of existing OLSR routing protocol and traffic shaping based on packet priority. This study proposes a modification of OLSR using swarm intelligence, Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) using Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and evaluation of performance of jitter, end to end delay, data drop and throughput. Simulation was carried out to investigate the proposed method for the network's multimedia traffic.

The aim of this research is to modify OLSR using GA to reduce the end to end delay and to improve the network throughput. Simulation was carried out for multimedia traffic and video streamed network traffic using OPNET Simulator. Routing is a primary MANET function where each node forms routes between nodes not directly in each others range for communication. Major challenges in MANET are routing protocol design while maintaining quality of service in the network. Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is a Table driven Proactive Routing Protocol having topology information and routes which are used for routing. OLSR's efficiency depends on Multi Point Relay (MPR) selection. Many studies are conducted to decrease control traffic overheads by modifying existing OLSR routing protocol and traffic shaping based on packet priority.
