The Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is a proactive link-state routing protocol, which uses hello and topology control (TC) messages to discover and then disseminate link-state information throughout the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) or Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET).
While MATLAB itself doesn't have built-in functionality for OLSR, you can code it by yourself or use existing OLSR implementations in other languages (e.g., C++, Python) and call those scripts from MATLAB using system calls. However, that requires interfacing MATLAB with other languages, which can be a bit complex if you're unfamiliar with MATLAB and the other language.
Here's a very general outline of what you'd need to do to implement OLSR in MATLAB from scratch:
Remember, implementing a network protocol in MATLAB can be a complex task, and it requires a strong understanding of both MATLAB programming and the protocol itself. You may also want to use MATLAB's object-oriented programming (OOP) features to make your code more structured and easier to manage.
For more detailed information on this topic, you might want to refer to academic papers or textbooks on ad hoc networking, as they often provide pseudocode or detailed descriptions of the algorithms used in these protocols.
Moreover, consider using Network Simulator software (like NS-2, NS-3, OMNeT++) as these software have built-in support for OLSR protocol and are designed for simulating networks, it may be easier and more efficient than using MATLAB for this purpose.
