Abstract
An extended connected dominating set (ECDS) in a wireless network with cooperative communication (CC) is a subset of nodes such that its induced subgraph is connected and each node outside the ECDS is covered by either one neighbor or several quasineighbors in the ECDS. Traditionality, the size of virtual backbone (VB) is the only factor considered in the problem of CDS construction. However, diameter is also an important factor to evaluate VB. In this paper we consider the problem of constructing quality ECDSs in unit disk graphs under CC with both of these two factors. We propose a two-phase centralized algorithm BD-ECDS to construct an ECDS for a given UDG with CC, which has a constant performance ratio (PR) and diameter. To obtain the PR of this two-phase centralized algorithm, we first give an upper bound of the EDS and use this upper bound to prove that the size of the ECDS under CC generated by the centralized algorithm is no greater than , where is the size of the minimum ECDS. Furthermore, our theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our algorithm BD-ECDS is superior to previous approaches.
期刊介绍:
Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today''s computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms.
Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.
