Abstract

The topology of wireless multihop ad hoc networks can be controlled by varying the transmission power of each node. Topology control is the problem of changing node´s transmission power in ad hoc networks so it maintains a specified network topology while minimizing energy consumption and increasing life time. In this paper, we changed the criteria of choosing neighbors in neighbor-based topology control XTC over AODV routing for mobile ad hoc networks and evaluated the effect of them with different parameters.
