Dynamic Topology Control Scheme in MANETs for AODV Routing

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.
