Abstract

In order to increase node lifetime and system throughput, the topology of wireless Ad Hoc networks can be controlled by changing the transmission power at each node. In this paper, we propose an energy-e±cient distributed topology- control algorithm, Varying Cone on Gabriel Graph (VCGG). By selecting logical neighbor nodes through deleting the far- thest node, VCGG builds a degree-bounded, power spanner and planar sub-graph using the merits of a varying cone. The simulation results show that our proposed VCGG out- performs the existing S£GG and SYaoGG algorithms in terms of power e±ciency, the number of communication neighbors and interference reduction.
