Abstract

Reducing energy consumption has been a recent focus of wireless sensor network research. Topology control explores the potential that a dense network has for energy savings. We propose that the sensor field be overlaid with a honeycomb virtual mesh[1] based on a tessellation. Then with the help of greedy forwarding Algorithm and perimeter forwarding Algorithm[2-4], we can bypass a void or obstacles easily. And we can save energy to prolong the life time of the Wireless Sensor Networks.
