For simulations, we used ns-3. We compare the performance for two architectures considering transmission rate and OLSR protocol. The simulation results show that for transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the throughput of Hybrid WMN is higher than I/B WMN. For transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the delay and jitter of Hybrid WMN is lower than I/B WMN. For transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the fairness index of I/B WMN is higher than Hybrid WMN.Peer Reviewe
