Topology Control in Wireless AD HOC Networks
Xiang‐Yang Li · 2004
In this chapter, we review in detail the geometry structures that are suitable for topology control in wireless ad hoc networks, especially the structures with bounded stretch factors, bounded node degree, or planar structures. We also review the current status of controlling the transmission power so the total or maximum transmission power is minimized without sacrificing the network connectivity. We then review the so-called localized routing methods, and location service protocols. We review the current status of applying stochastic geometry to study the connectivity, capacity, and so on of wireless networks. We conclude by pointing out some possible research questions.
