Topology Control for Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Abstract

Topology control is one of the most fundamental issues in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. In this chapter, we give a summary of our recently works for topology control problem. Firstly, we briefly summarize existing works and research activities. Secondly, we address QoS topology control problem in homogeneous and non-homogeneous ad hoc networks including minimizing the total energy cost and minimizing maximum transmitting power of nodes and give our results. Thirdly, we introduce strongly connected topology control including non-restricted and restricted topology control problem in the wireless sensor networks, and give the corresponding results.
