Abstract

Consider a digraph G = (V, E). A subset of vertices D⊆Vis called a strongly connected dominating set if the subgraph induced by D is strongly connected and every vertex not in D is incident to an in-edge coming from D and also to an out-edge going to D. Strongly connected dominating set is a virtual backbone in ad-hoc wireless networks. It should be kept active all the time. Therefore, constructing an energy-efficient strongly connected dominating set is significant. Since this problem is NP-hard, in this paper we give an O(ln n )-approximation for the minimum power strongly connected dominating set, which is the weighted version where each node has been assigned a power function.
