Surface Coverage Relays - Connected Area Dominating Set (SCR-CADS) Algorithm  Relay Selection Phase  Decision Phase

Relay Selection Phase  Computing connected dominated sets with multipoint relays  INRIA, Tech. Rep. 4597, Oct  MultiPoint Relay (MPR)  Each two hop neighbor of the nodes has a neighbor in MPR set

Relay Selection Phase A C B F D E Sort(A)={NULL} Sort(A)={C} Sort(A)={C, E} Sort(A)={C, E, F} Sort(A)={C, E, F, D}

Relay Selection Phase  The node collects information of its neighbors  The node computes its own SCR set  The node broadcasts it to its neighbors

Decision Phase F A B C D E A B C E Sort(A)={B, C, E, D} F Sort(C)={…., F}

Decision Phase  The node collects relay sets and priorities of its neighbors  The node decides to be active if it has the highest priority or if its identifier is in the relay set of the neighbor with highest priority

Experimental Results  Experimental field ： 50 × 50  Sensing range = communication range = 10  Battery ： 100 units

Experimental Results

Conclusions  Surface Coverage Relays - Connected Area Dominating Set (SCR-CADS)  Without complex computation  Sensing range and communication are equal  Saves energy and prolongs the network lifetime  This provides energy savings and so prolongs the  network lifetime.
