Abstract

Topology control in wireless sensor networks is an important issue for scalability and energy efficiency. It is often based on graph reduction performed through the use of Gabriel Graph or Relative Neighborhood Graph. This graph reduction is usually based on geometric values. In this paper we tackle the problem of possible connectivity loss in the reduced graph by applying a battery level based reduction graph. Experiments are conducted to evaluate our proposition. Results are compared with RNG reduction which takes into account only the strength of the received signal (RSSI). Results show that our algorithm maintains network connectivity longer than solutions from the literature and balances the energy consumption over nodes.
