Abstract: A mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a collection of wireless mobile terminals, which create a temporary network without relying on a fixed infrastructure. MANETs are attracting attention for their potential use in several fields such as collaborative computing and communications in small areas. Considering mobility of the terminals, routing is a key process for operation of MANETs. In this paper, we analyse the performance of optimised link state routing (OLSR) and better approach to mobile ad hoc networking (BATMAN) protocols, in an indoor horizontal topology for three different scenarios. We also analyse the performance of OLSR protocol in an indoor vertical topology for two scenarios. We compare the results for horizontal and vertical topology considering OLSR protocol. From our experiments, we found that the mobility and node distance affect more the throughput and packetloss in the vertical topology.
