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-efficient distributed topology-control algorithm, Varying Cone on Gabriel Graph (VCGG). By selecting logical neighbor nodes through deleting the farthest 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 outperforms the existing SΘGG and SYaoGG algorithms in terms of power efficiency, the number of communication neighbors and interference reduction.
