Abstract

This paper studies delay-constraint topology control (DTC) in wireless sensor networks. That is, the delay of transmission is guaranteed through topology control. This problem has been proved to be NP-Completeness, and the previous works are in-adequate and lack of the theoretical analysis. In this paper, we present the DTCP algorithm with the minimal increased-energy method. We analyze that the energy cost of DTCP algorithm is at most (2n/T)α -- 2(2n/T)α-2 + 1 times as that of minimal spanning tree for the linear networks, where n is the number of the nodes in the network, T is the required delay from source to the sink node, α is determined by hardware and environments. Besides these, we design two localized algorithms for DTC problem. The experimental results show that DTCP algorithm can reduce about 31% energy over HBH algorithm under the same conditions.
