network sensors consist of sensor nodes in which every node covers a limited area. the most common use ofthese networks is in unreachable fields.sink is a node that collects data from other nodes.one of the main challenges in these networks is the limitation of nodes battery (power supply). therefore, the use oftopology control is required to decrease power consumption and increase network acce...

This paper proposes an optimized topology control scheme

recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (uwsn) has attracted considerable attention. autonomous underwater vehicles (auvs) are increasingly used as uwsns in underwater missions. events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. the target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. a ‘topology cont...

Topology construction and topology maintenance are significant sub-problems of topology control. Spanning tree based algorithms for topology control are basically transmission range based type construction algorithms. The construction of an effective backbone, however, is indirectly related to the placement of nodes. Also, the dependence of network reliability on the communication path undertak...

Exploring the topology of a region object requires the mathematical study of its geometric properties that are preserved under deformations. A moving region whose location and extent change over time can undergo several topological changes such as the splitting of a region or the formation of a hole. The study of this kind of changes is important in many applications, e.g., for the topology con...
