In the past 20 years, the connected dominating set (CDS) as a virtual backbone network has been widely used in the wireless networks. Many researchers have been devoted to designing approximate algorithms for CDS problem since constructing the minimum CDS (MCDS) is NP-hard problem. Different from the most existing algorithms with two phases, we employ greedy strategy to design a centralized algorithm GR CDS in only one phase to get MCDS, with the time complexity of ((Δ 2 + log ) ). Afterwards, another algorithm P CDS is designed for pruning redundant nodes in the obtained MCDS with the time complexity of ( 2 ).
In REF , greedy redundant connected dominating set (GR-CDS) with greedy strategy was introduced in order to produce an optimal size of the CDS which has a time complexity of O((Δ 2 + log n)n).
