Localized Topology Control for Heterogeneous Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Overview This paper studies topology control in heterogeneous wireless ad hoc networks, where each mobile host has different maximum transmission power and two nodes are connected if they are within the maximum transmission range of each other. This paper presents several strategies for all wireless nodes self-maintaining sparse and power efficient topologies in heterogeneous network environment with low communication cost. The first structure is sparse and can be used for broadcasting. While the second structure keeps the minimum power consumption path, and the third structure is degree-bounded length and power spanner, constructed through a novel space partition strategy. Both the second and third structures are power efficient and can be used for unicasting.
