Abstract

A novel approach for achieving high (QoS) in sensor networks via is introduced and experimentally assessed in this paper. Our approach falls in the broader discipline of , and exploits a leading concept initially studied in the context of (SNA), namely . Particularly, in our research betweenness is applied in terms of a embedded in the core layer of our proposed topology control algorithm, called (EBC). EBC allows us to evaluate relationships between entities of the network (e.g., nodes, edges), and hence identify different roles among them (e.g., brokers, outliers). In turn, deriving knowledge is further exploited to define that look at structural properties of the graph modeling the target sensor network. Based on these amenities, our topology control algorithm is able of providing an “insight” of the graph structure of the network on top which control over information flow, message delivery, latency and energy dissipation among nodes can be easily deployed.
