Summary:In this paper, we study the problem of distributed network topology control in order to minimise the received power of network communications at an adversary location. The proposed approach utilises a market-based distributed decision making mechanism to coordinate the deletion of links that contribute most to the received power at the adversary location whilst maintaining network connectivity. Given an initially strongly connected network and static agents, our approach guarantees that the network remains strongly connected and the received power at an adversary location is asymptotically minimised to a greedy optimal solution. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated in a number of simulations.
