This paper presents the performance evaluation of the topology control algorithms that can be integrated in a street lighting monitoring and control system which is based on a wireless sensor network (WSN) communication protocol. The A3, EECDS and CDS-Rule K topology control algorithms were tested using the Atarraya simulation software. The evaluated parameters are the number of active nodes resulting from the application of the topology construction algorithm the number of packets sent and the energy consumed while building the topology.
