Abstract
IN wireless sensor networks (WSNs), one challenging issue is to In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), one challenging issue is to construct a virtual backbone in a distributed and localized way while considering energy limitation. Dominating set has been used extensively as core or virtual backbone in WSNs for the purposes like routing and message broadcast. To ensure network performance, a good dominating set construction protocols should be simple and avoid introducing extra message. In addition, the resulting dominating set should be small, connected, and take into account the energy level at each node. This paper studies efficient and simple virtual backbone construction protocol using defer time in IEEE 802.15.4- based WSNs (e.g. Zigbee). The efficiency of our proposed protocol is confirmed through simulation results.
