Wireless Network Topology Control: Supporting Link Cost Constraints and Resiliency

Abstract

In this report, we research topology control approaches to aid in reducing the required transmission power within wireless ad hoc networks. Using simulation and graph theory, we evaluate the efficiency and resiliency of the k resilient XTC protocol against other basic fundamental topology control approaches. We conclude that the kXTC protocol provides a basic design framework for ad hoc wireless topology control by balancing the minimization of maximum transmission power cost across the network against competing resiliency design requirements in ad hoc networks.
