Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks are highly distributed self organized systems. WSN have been deployed in various fields. Now a day, Topology issues have received more and more attentions in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). While WSN applications are normally optimized by the given underlying network topology, another trend is to optimize WSN by means of topology control. In this area, a number of approaches have been invested, like network connectivity based topology control, cooperating schemes, topology directed routing, sensor coverage based topology control. Most of the schemes have proven to be able to provide a better network monitoring and communication performance with prolonged system lifetime. In this survey paper, I provide a full view of the studies in this area.
