Abstract

We demonstrate a network formation mechanism for physically isolated nodes that communicate via signal broadcasting. Nodes, which initially transmit at a preset maximum power, subject links to preferential detachment by autonomously decreasing their transmission radii while satisfying conditions of zero communication loss and fixed maximum nodehopping distance for signaling. We consider various spatial topologies and find cost reductions as high as 90% over networks that restrict nodes to have a fixed transmission distance.
