QoS Topology Control for Nonhomogenous Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

Abstract

This paper discusses the energy-efficient QoS topology control problem for nonhomogenous ad hoc wireless networks. Given a set of nodes with different energy and bandwidth capacities in a plane, and given the end-to-end traffic demands and delay bounds between node-pairs, the problem is to find a network topology that can meet the QoS requirements and the maximum energy utilization of nodes is minimized. Achieving this objective is vital to the increase of network lifetime. We consider two cases of the problem: (1) the traffic demands are not splittable, and (2) the traffic demands are splittable. For the former case, the problem is formulated as an integer linear programming problem. For the latter case, the problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem, and an optimal algorithm has been proposed to solve the problem.
