Abstract :Topology control is a set of strategies and actions those aim to improve energy efficiency, lifetime and reliability of the networks. One of the most effective methodology is topology reduction, which is a part of the overall topology control process. Topology control process is usually considered under two phases: construction and maintenance. This hard work would even be harder for mobile ad-hoc sensor networks, those consist of devices with limited capabilities and continual independent movement. In this work, we made our efforts to find out effects of mobility of the nodes in an ad-hoc wireless sensor network on network parameters, by using different pre-defined topology control protocols. Thus, we made simulations using an experimental simulator, called Atarraya. Furthermore, we measured the performance of each protocol and compared the outcomes in order to find the best topology control strategy. Lastly, possible solutions to the uncovered problems are proposed.Keywords : Ad-hoc wireless sensor networks, mobility, topology control, energy efficiency, simulation
