The MST-BASED Topology Control Algorithm- Design Guideline  Network connectivity  The algorithm should be distributed  Bi-directional links  Small node degree

The MST-BASED Topology Control Algorithm- The LMST Algorithm  Information Exchange  Topology Construction  Construction of Topology with only Bi-directional Edges

The LMST Algorithm  Each node has the same maximum transmission range d max  G=(V,E) V is the set of nodes in the network  u v d max d(u,v) u v u v

Information Exchange  This is obtained by having each node broadcast a HELLO message using its maximal transmission power Node ID Position

Topology Construction  Each node u applies Prim’s Algorithm to obtain its Local Minimum Spanning Tree Power efficient minimum spanning tree T u =(V(T u ),E(T u ))

Topology Construction- unsymmetrical links

Construction of Topology with only Bi-directional Edges  Enforce all the uni-directional links in G 0 to become bi- directional  To delete all the uni-directional links in G 0
