Sleep based topology control a probabilistic algorithm

Topology control aims to provide more spatial reuse and power conservation while keeping network´s connectivity. However just a few number of efforts have focused on the issue of topology control with mobility. Some topology control algorithms try to provide more energy conservation by sleeping the redundant nodes. This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm to determine whether a node has to sleep or not. We have simulated our proposed algorithm in both of static and dynamic networks. Our results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms CEC, which is a well-known sleep-based topology control algorithm. Further, our proposed algorithm has a simpler implementation and less overhead.
