Abstract
A system and method for performing topology control in a wireless network (). The system and method operate to enable a node (-) to determine the link cost of a link between itself and another node (-), based on the number of nodes () that would be affected by message transmission by the node () and the other node (-), and the number of nodes () that would be affected by message reception by the node (-) and the other node (-). The number of nodes () affected by the message transmission and message reception at the node (-) and the other node (-) is affected by the transmit power of the control messages sent by the node (-) and the other node (-). The node (-) further bases routing decisions on the calculated link costs.
