Energy conservation is a critical issue in wireless ad hoc networks since batteries are the only energy source to power the nodes. One major metric for energy conservation is to r...
: Virtual backbone-based routing is a promising approach for enhancing the routing efficiency in MANETs. To establish communication in the network, the virtual backbone nodes have ...

In this paper, we present a localized Shortest Path Tree (SPT) based algorithm for constructing a sub-network with the minimum-energy property for a given wireless ad hoc network....
Abstract-- The efficiency of a communication network depends not only on its control protocols, but also on the underlying network topology. We propose a distributed topology manag...
