This study explores Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) comprised of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which play a vital role in applications such as aerial surveillance, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. A notable challenge associated with the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol is packet loss, an issue that arises from its proactive nature. While this characteristic ensures low end-to-end delay making OLSR advantageous in critical situations, it can adversely affect overall reliability. Utilizing the NS-2.35 simulator, this research evaluates the performance of OLSR by analyzing how various factors, such as operational area size, mobility models, node speed, and traffic rate, impact the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). Several mobility models, including time, random and group-based movements, are employed to simulate realistic UAV behaviors. The study underscores OLSR’s robustness in these contexts, particularly noting that the Pursue Mobility Model (PMM) is particularly effective in sustaining a high PDR. Moreover, the findings emphasize the significant impact of area size on OLSR’s performance, providing valuable insights for optimizing FANET deployments and enhancing the reliability and efficiency of these systems in critical applications.
