In this paper, a family of ant colony algorithms called DAACA for data aggregation has been presented which contains three phases: the initialization, packet transmission and operations on pheromones. After initialization, each node estimates the remaining energy and the amount of pheromones to compute the probabilities used for dynamically selecting the next hop. After certain rounds of transmissions, the pheromones adjustment is performed periodically, which combines the advantages of both global and local pheromones adjustment for evaporating or depositing pheromones. Four different pheromones adjustment strategies are designed to achieve the global optimal network lifetime, namely Basic-DAACA, ES-DAACA, MM-DAACA and ACS-DAACA. Compared with some other data aggregation algorithms, DAACA shows higher superiority on average degree of nodes, energy efficiency, prolonging the network lifetime, computation complexity and success ratio of one hop transmission. At last we analyze the characteristic of DAACA in the aspects of robustness, fault tolerance and scalability.
In @cite_8 , a Local Minimum Spanning Tree algorithm called LMST is presented to establish the network topology, although it can effectively reduce the average degree of nodes, some prominent problems still emerge. Each node needs to periodically calculate and update the MST(Minimum Spanning Tree) locally which leads to a high computational overhead for each node. Moreover, each node needs to communicate with its neighbors to obtain the energy condition of neighbors, which still costs much energy.

In this paper, we present a minimum spanning tree (MST) based topology control algorithm, called local minimum spanning tree (LMST), for wireless multi-hop networks. In this algorithm, each node builds its local minimum spanning tree independently and only keeps on-tree nodes that are one-hop away as its neighbors in the final topology. We analytically prove several important properties of LMST: (1) the topology derived under LMST preserves the network connectivity; (2) the node degree of any node in the resulting topology is bounded by 6; and (3) the topology can be transformed into one with bidirectional links (without impairing the network connectivity) after removal of all uni-directional links. These results are corroborated in the simulation study. We propose localized, self organizing, robust, and energy-efficient data aggregation tree approaches for sensor networks, which we call Localized Power-Efficient Data Aggregation Protocols (L-PEDAPs). They are based on topologies, such as LMST and RNG, that can approximate minimum spanning tree and can be efficiently computed using only position or distance information of one-hop neighbors. The actual routing tree is constructed over these topologies. We also consider different parent selection strategies while constructing a routing tree. We compare each topology and parent selection strategy and conclude that the best among them is the shortest path strategy over LMST structure. Our solution also involves route maintenance procedures that will be executed when a sensor node fails or a new node is added to the network. The proposed solution is also adapted to consider the remaining power levels of nodes in order to increase the network lifetime. Our simulation results show that by using our power-aware localized approach, we can almost have the same performance of a centralized solution in terms of network lifetime, and close to 90 percent of an upper bound derived here. The problem of verifying a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) was introduced by Tarjan in a sequential setting. Given a graph and a tree that spans it, the algorithm is required to check whether this tree is an MST. This paper investigates the problem in the distributed setting, where the input is given in a distributed manner, i.e., every node “knows” which of its own emanating edges belong to the tree. Informally, the distributed MST verification problem is the following. Label the vertices of the graph in such a way that for every node, given (its own state and label and) the labels of its neighbors only, the node can detect whether these edges are indeed its MST edges. In this paper, we present such a verification scheme with a maximum label size of O(log n log W), where n is the number of nodes and W is the largest weight of an edge. We also give a matching lower bound of Ω(log n log W) (as long as W > (log n)1+e for some fixed e > 0). Both our bounds improve previously known bounds for the problem. In this paper a new energy-aware weighted dynamic topology control (WDTC) algorithm is proposed to extend the lifetime of wireless network and balance the nodes’ energy consumption. The idea is that each node builds its local minimum spanning tree (MST) based on the energy-aware weighted graph and the network topology is adjusted accordingly. It was proved theoretically that the topology under WDTC algorithm could preserve the network connectivity and a sufficient condition for the degree of no more than 6 was also given. Simulation shows that WDTC algorithm can effectively prolong the network lifetime and has good topological features.
