  abstract: A wireless sensor network (WSN) is comprised of a few hundred or thousand autonomous sensor nodes spatially distributed over a particular region. Each sensor node is equipped with a wireless communication device, a small microprocessor, and a battery-powered energy source. Typically, the applications of WSNs such as habitat monitoring, re detection, and military surveillance, require data collection, processing, and transmission among the sensor nodes. Due to their energy constraints and hostile environments, the main challenge in the research of WSN lies in prolonging the lifetime of WSNs. In this dissertation, we present four different topology management protocols for K-coverage and load balancing to prolong the lifetime of WSNs. First, we present a Randomly Ordered Activation and Layering (ROAL) protocol for K-coverage in a stationary WSN. The ROAL suggests a new model of layer coverage that can construct a K-covered WSN using the layer information received from its previously activated nodes in the sensing distance. Second, we enhance the fault tolerance of layer coverage through a Circulation-ROAL (C-ROAL) protocol. Using the layer number, the C-ROAL can activate each node in a round-robin fashion during a predefined period while conserving reconfiguration energy. Next, Mobility Resilient Coverage Control (MRCC) is presented to assure K-coverage in the presence of mobility, in which a more practical and reliable model for K-coverage with nodal mobility is introduced. Finally, we present a Multiple-Connected Dominating Set(MCDS) protocol that can balance the network traffic using an on-demand routing protocol. The MCDS protocol constructs and manages multiple backbone networks, each of which is constructed with a connected dominating set (CDS) to ensure a connected backbone network. We describe each protocol, and compare the performance of our protocols with Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and/or existing K-coverage algorithms through extensive simulations. The si…
