Abstract: Characteristics of the mobile ad-hoc networks such as nodes high mobility and limited energy are regarded as the routing challenges in these networks. OLSR protocol is one of the routing protocols in mobile ad hoc network that selects the shortest route between source and destination through Dijkstra’s algorithm. However, OLSR suffers from a major problem. It does not consider parameters such as node’s energy level and links length in its route processing. This study employs the Artificial Immune System (AIS) to enhance efficiency of OLSR routing protocol. The proposed algorithm, called AIS-OLSR, considers hop count, remaining energy in the intermediate nodes and distance among node which is realized by negative selection and ClonalG algorithms of AIS. Widespread packet-level simulation in Ns-2 environment, shows that AIS-OLSR outperforms OLSR and EA-OLSR in terms of packet delivery ratio, throughput, end-end delay and lifetime.
