First, a channel allocation model is formulated and a series of the maximum independent sets （MISs） are obtained from a contention graph by the proposed approximation algorithm with low complexity. Then, a weighted contention graph is obtained using the number of contention vertices between two MISs as a weighted value. Links are allocated to channels by the weighted contention graph to minimize conflicts between independent sets. Finally, after channel allocation, each node allocates network interface cards （NICs） to links that are allocated channels according to the queue lengths of NICs. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm significantly improves the network throughput and decreases the end to end delay.展开更多

A graph G is strongly IM-extendable, if for every spanning supergraph H of G, every induced matching of H is included in a perfect matching of H. The κ-th power of G, denoted by G^κ, is the graph with vertex set V（G） in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have distance at most k in G. ID-factor-criticality and IM-extendability of power graphs are discussed in this article. The author shows that, if G is a connected graph, then G^3 and T（G） （the total graph of G） are ID-factor-critical, and G^4 （when ｜V（G）｜ is even） is strongly IM-extendable; if G is 2-connected, then D^2 is ID-factor-critical.展开更多

A connected graph (respectively, graph) G with vertex set V(G) is called a quasi-tree graph (respectively, quasi-forest graph), if there exists a vertex x ∈V(G) such that G −x?is a tree (respectively, forest).

It is shown that the existence of k-independent sets in G is equivalent to the existence of solutions of a system of multivariate polynomial equations. It follows that the problem of finding k-independent sets can be realized by using Gröbner bases of polynomial ideals. Since the number of k-independent sets is finite, the triangular equations composed by Gröbner bases are easier to be solved. Consequently, the maximal independent sets and the independent number of G are obtained after solving at most n such equations. Finally, the numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this algebraic computational method.展开更多

Based on the （α, β）-tree concept, a new connected dominating tree with bounded transmission delay problem（CDTT） is defined and a corresponding algorithm is designed to construct a CDT-tree which can trade off limited total power and bounded transmission delay from source to destination nodes. The CDT algorithm consists of two phases： The first phase constructs a maximum independent set（MIS）in a unit disk graph model. The second phase estimates the distance and calculates the transmission power to construct a spanning tree in an undirected graph with different weights for MST and SPF, respectively. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the CDT algorithm gives a correct solution to the CDTF problem and forms a virtual backbone with（ α,β）-constraints balancing the requirements of power consumption and transmission delay.展开更多

文摘To cope with the constraint problem of power consumption and transmission delay in the virtual backbone of wireless sensor network, a distributed connected dominating set （CDS） algorithm with （α,β）-constraints is proposed. Based on the （α, β）-tree concept, a new connected dominating tree with bounded transmission delay problem（CDTT） is defined and a corresponding algorithm is designed to construct a CDT-tree which can trade off limited total power and bounded transmission delay from source to destination nodes. The CDT algorithm consists of two phases： The first phase constructs a maximum independent set（MIS）in a unit disk graph model. The second phase estimates the distance and calculates the transmission power to construct a spanning tree in an undirected graph with different weights for MST and SPF, respectively. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the CDT algorithm gives a correct solution to the CDTF problem and forms a virtual backbone with（ α,β）-constraints balancing the requirements of power consumption and transmission delay.
