Abstract

Topology control problems in wireless sensor networks (WSN) have important relationship with energy saving, network efficiency, network security and so on. In this paper, MATC, a mobile agent based topology control algorithm is proposed, which could solve three problems in data collection and transmission in WSN: routing void, isolated node and sleeping control. Simulation results show that MATC could save energy and prolong network lifetime effectively, and decrease network traffic load.
