We consider a Min-Power Bounded-Hops Symmetric Connectivity problem that consists in the construction of communication spanning tree on a given graph, where the total energy consumption spent for the data transmission is minimized and the maximum number of hops between two nodes is bounded by some predefined constant. We focus on the planar Euclidian case of this problem where the nodes are placed at the random uniformly spread points on a square and the power cost necessary for the communication between two network elements is proportional to the squared distance between them. Since this is an NP-hard problem, we propose different polynomial heuristic algorithms for the approximation solution to this problem. We perform a posteriori comparative analysis of the proposed algorithms and present the obtained results in this paper.Due to the prevalence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in human life, the different optimization problems aimed to increase their efficiency remain actual. Since usually WSN consists of elements with the non-renewable power supply with restricted capacity, one of the most important issues related to the design of WSN is prolongation its lifetime by minimizing energy consumption of its elements per time unit. A significant part of sensor energy is spent on the communication with other network elements. Therefore, the modern sensors often have an ability to adjust their transmission ranges changing the transmitter power. Herewith, usually, the energy consumption of a network's element is assumed to be proportional to d s , where s ≥ 2 and d is the transmission range [1].The problem of search of the optimal power assignment in WSN is wellstudied. The most general Range Assignment Problem, where the goal is to ⋆ The research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project 18-71-00084).
