For large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a three-layer topology architecture and an algorithm of topology control for its key communication layer are proposed in this paper. In the algorithm, the base station of the network leads the ring periodically to discover the minimum power cost links from base station to each sinks, and a minimum spanning tree will be constructed. This tree will be...
