Abstract
- Topology Control is one of the most important techniques used in wireless multi-hop networks to obtain the desired network property. The most conventional MST-based topology control schemes both achieve a very good performance in terms of transmission power and implicitly consider network capacity, but they hardly have flexibility in determining whether more importance is placed on network capacity or not. Therefore, we jointly consider network capacity and energy efficiency in this paper. A new localized topology control scheme is proposed to meet the above two competing objectives by finding a balance between them through using Get_min- cost_for_link_(). The simulation results show that, when compared with some typical MST-based schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve the desired performance in terms of network capacity under the appropriate combination of weight values though it has a slightly worse performance in terms of transmission power. Moreover, the proposed scheme achieves the most balanced distribution with respect to path capacity among the compared schemes, especially when both k-hop neighborhood size and network node density increase. More importantly, the proposed scheme can flexibly determine that either network capacity or energy consumption should be given more attention according to the demand of the network application.
