Topology management is a key component of network management of wireless sensor networks. The primary goal of topology management is to conserve energy while maintaining network connectivity. Topology management consists of knowing the physical connections and logical relationships among the sensors and at the same time creating a subset of nodes actively participating in the network, thus creating less communication and conserving energy in nodes

In spite of various constraints present in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), it has become popular in various application domains which need useful information. Among these constraints, energy conservation is the most important aspect. One of the known strategies to save energy and to prolong the lifetime of the WSNs is topology control. In this paper, a reliable energy-efficient topology control algorithm in wireless sensor networks is proposed.
