Abstract

Given a set of points in the plane, we want to establish a connection network between these points that consists of several disjoint layers. Motivated by sensor networks, we want that each layer is spanning and plane, and that no edge is too long when compared to the length needed to obtain a spanning tree.

We consider two different approaches. First we show an almost optimal centralized approach to extract two layers. Then we consider a distributed model in which each point can compute its adjacencies using only information about vertices at most a predefined distance away. We obtain a constant-factor approximation with respect to the length of the longest edge in the graphs. In both cases the obtained layers are plane.
