Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
內容描述
Description:
Topology control is
fundamental to solving scalability and capacity problems in
large-scale wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.
Forthcoming wireless multi-hop networks such as
ad hoc and sensor networks will allow network nodes to control the
communication topology by choosing their transmitting ranges. Briefly,
topology control (TC) is the art of co-ordinating nodes’ decisions
regarding their transmitting ranges, to generate a network with the desired
features. Building an optimized network topology helps surpass the
prevalent scalability and capacity problems.
Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and
Sensor Networks makes the case for topology control and provides an
exhaustive coverage of TC techniques in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks,
considering both stationary networks, to which most of the existing solutions
are tailored, and mobile networks. The author introduces a new taxonomy of
topology control and gives a full explication of the applications and
challenges of this important topic.
Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and
Sensor Networks:
Defines topology control and explains its
necessity, considering both stationary and mobile networks.
Describes the most representative TC protocols
and their performance.
Covers the critical transmitting range for
stationary and mobile networks, topology optimization problems such as
energy efficiency, and distributed topology control.
Discusses implementation and ‘open issues’,
including realistic models and the effect of multi-hop data traffic.
Presents a case study on routing protocol
design, to demonstrate how TC can ease the design of cooperative routing
protocols.
This invaluable text will provide graduate
students in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Applied
Mathematics and Physics, researchers in the field of ad hoc networking, and
professionals in wireless telecoms as well as networking system developers
with a single reference resource on topology control.
