Abstract

Connected dominating set (CDS) has played an important role in building virtual backbone, which is used on unicast, multicast, and fault-tolerant routing in wireless sensor networks. In order to reduce traffic congestion and communication delay, a routing-cost constrained minimum CDS (ROCCDS) has been studied extensively in the literature. In this paper, we present a PTAS for \(\alpha \) ROCCDS where \(\alpha \ge 5\), that is, there exists a polynomial-time \((1+\varepsilon )\)-approximation for minimum CDS under constraint that for every pair of nodes u and v, \(m_{CDS}(u,v) \le m(u,v)\) where \(m(u,v)\) denotes the number of intermediate nodes in the shortest path between u and v, and \(m_{CDS}(u,v)\) denotes the number of intermediate nodes of the shortest path between u and v through CDS produced by the approximation algorithm.
