Sleep Based Topology Control: Based on the Distributed Learning Automata

Topology control tries to provide more spatial reuse and power conservation while keeping network connectivity. Some topology control algorithms try to provide more energy conservation by sleeping the redundant nodes. This paper presents a learning automata based algorithm to determine whether the node has to sleep or not. Just few efforts have focused on the issue of topology control with mobility. We have simulated our proposed algorithm in both of the static and dynamic networks. Our results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms CEC, which is a well known algorithm.
