Abstract

Topology control algorithm for wireless sensor networks is of great significance to save nodes´ energy and prolong the lifetime of the network. Nowadays, there are two ways for wireless sensor networks to save energy: hierarchical topology control and power control; In this paper, we propose a new topology control method, Sleep-supported and Cone-based Topology Control method (SCTC), which integrates periodic sleep and topology control. The simulation results show that SCTC can save energy consumption and extend the lifetime of the network obviously.
