Abstract

The topology control strategies of wireless sensor networks are very important to reduce the energy consumptions of sensor nodes and prolong the life-span of networks. In this paper, we put forward a minimum-energy path-preserving topology control (MPTC) algorithm. MPTC not only resolves the problem of exceeding energy consumption because of the unclosed region in SMECN[2], but also preserves at least one minimum-energy path between every pair of nodes in a communication network. At last, we demonstrate the performance improvements of our algorithm through simulation.
