Knowledge of sensor network topology is useful for understanding the structure of the sensor network, and it also plays an important role in resource management and deployment. Additionally, it is a major component of sensor network tomography techniques. Considering sensor network characteristics, we propose a topology inference algorithm based on end-to-end measurement in this paper. Especifically, we consider the case of inferring sensor network topology during the aggregation of the data from a collection of sensor nodes to a sink node. The simulation shows that the proposed approach can discover the sensor network topology accurately and quickly, and scale to the large networks.
