One of the mosteffective methodology is topology reduction, which is a part of the overalltopology control process. Topology control process is usually considered undertwo phases: construction and maintenance. This hard work would even be harderfor mobile ad-hoc sensor networks, those consist of devices with limitedcapabilities and continual independent movement. In this work, we made ourefforts to find out effects of mobility of the nodes in an ad-hoc wirelesssensor network on network parameters, by using different pre-defined topologycontrol protocols. Thus, we made simulations using an experimental simulator,called Atarraya. Furthermore, we measured the performance of each protocol andcompared the outcomes in order to find the best topology control strategy.Lastly, possible solutions to the uncovered problems are proposed.
