Abstract

Motivated by reducing communication overhead and prolonging network lifetime in multi-hop wireless networks, we propose an energy-efficient dominating tree construction (EEDTC) algorithm to construct a dominating tree that can serve as a communication backbone in wireless infrastructures. The algorithm uses k-hop neighbors' information (k@?[1,D"G], where D"G is the diameter of graph G). EEDTC has a theoretical approximation factor of at most 9. When k is equal to 1, it has O(n) message complexity and O(@?n^1^-^1^/^D^"^G@?-1) time complexity. Due to the low message complexity, EEDTC performs well on energy consumption. The energy-aware ranking technique that is introduced can also balance energy consumption in the network, and hence reduce the probability of network failures caused by energy depletion of backbone nodes.
