WMNs consist of end clients and mesh routers, communicate wirelessly in a multi-hop fashion. The commonly used routing protocols depend on the hop-count metric to determine the preferred route between source and destination. Due to the unpredictable behavior of the wireless medium, the need for a routing protocol that aware to the medium condition becomes a necessity. In this paper we propose a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a metric to determine the optimum route between source and destination. Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is selected for the new metric. A comparison has been made between the conventional hop-count metric and SNR for the OLSR routing protocol. The network throughput, End-to-End delay and routing protocol overhead are used as a performance metrics for the comparison. The obtained results show that using SNR as a routing algorithm metric is performing better than the conventional hop-count in WMN environments. ©2009 IEEE. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-70349918776&doi=10.1109%2fCSPA.2009.5069268&partnerID=40&md5=e9a2d3a18fc892b74fc9491af03ca243 id_number: 10.1109/CSPA.2009.5069268 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of 2009 5th International Colloquium on Signal Processing and Its Applications, CSPA 2009 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 445-448 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781424441501 citation: Elshaikh, M. and Kamel, N. and Awang, A.
