چکیده
Topology control by means of transmit power adjustment is a well-studied technique for improving the network capacity and energy efficiency of wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of connectivity and topology control in a real IEEE 802.11b testbed composed of inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) routers. Although topology control via transmit power adjustment is feasible based on analytical studies and emulations, it is difficult in practice for the range provided by COTS wireless routers.

Representing a Model for Improving Connectivity and Power Dissipation in Wireless Networks Using Mobile Sensors
Wireless sensor networks are often located in areas where access to them is difficult or dangerous. Today, in wireless sensor networks, cluster-based routing protocols by dividing sensor nodes into distinct clusters and selecting local head-clusters to combine and send information of each cluster to the base station and balanced energy consumption by network nodes, get the best performance ...
