Abstract
The article proposes and investigates a modification of the algorithm for selecting
multipoint relays (MPR) within the OLSR routing protocol, aimed at ensuring protection from
isolation attacks and increasing the accessibility of network nodes. Algorithm was implemented
on the basis of the NS-3 network simulator. An intruder model was proposed, an attack
simulation on the availability of nodes of a self-organizing network was performed, and an
experimental investigation of the developed algorithm was carried out. The results obtained
allowed us to confirm the effectiveness of the developed solution
