The restricted shortest-path-based topology control algorithm in wireless multihop networks

摘要

In this paper, we present an energy-efficient topology control algorithm named RLSP. The algorithm first tries to preserve the minimum-energy paths. However, when a node finds it needs a large transmission power to cover some of its logical neighbors, it uses two-hop paths to reach them instead of using single links. Simulation results show that RLSP can effectively decrease the transmission power and reduce the energy consumption when transmitting.
