Energy Efficient Topology Control Algorithms for Sensor Networks

Download or read book Energy Efficient Topology Control Algorithms for Sensor Networks written by Nedal Ababneh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lifetime extension is one of the most critical research issues in the area of wireless sensor networks due to the severe resource limitations of the sensor nodes (e.g., small battery, limited computation capabilities, inexpensive transceiver etc.). One of the key approaches for prolonging the sensor network operable lifetime is to deploy an effective topology control protocol. This book proposes solutions pertinent the topology control issues and challenges in sensor networks, in particular the design of energy aware topology control algorithms.
