Abstract

In this paper, we propose two new distributed algorithms for producing sets of nodes that can be used to form backbones of an ad hoc wireless network. Our focus is on producing small sets that are d-hop connected and d-hop dominating and have a desirable ‘shortest path property’. These algorithms produce sets that are considerably smaller than those produced by an algorithm previously introduced by the authors. One of these two new algorithms has constant-time complexity.
