We show that finding a minimal number of landmark nodes for a unique virtual addressing by hop-distances in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks is NPcomplete even if the networks are unit disk graphs that contain only Gabriel edges. This problem is equivalent to Metric Dimension for Gabriel unit disk graphs. The Gabriel edges of a unit disc graph induce a planar O( √ n) distance and an optimal energy spanner. This is one of the most interesting restrictions of Metric Dimension in the context of wireless multi-hop networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
