Abstract

Topology control is an effective mechanism to save energy for ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose an energy-saving topology control algorithm for heterogeneous ad hoc networks with non-uniform transmission ranges: Minimum-power Ingress Neighbor Sub-network (MINS), which is fully distributed, asynchronous and localized. MINS not only preserves the network connectivity, but also has low communication overhead compared with other topology control algorithms. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.
