A Distributed Energy Aware Connected Dominating Set Technique for Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper presents an energy-efficient algorithm based on the connected dominating set (CDS) for a wireless sensor networks (WSN). A CDS has been widely used for a virtual backbone construction to support routing and minimize the communication overheads in a network. Our algorithm, a single-ph...

A CDS has been widely used for a virtual backbone construction to support routing and minimize the communication overheads in a network.
