In Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), energy is a crucial resource. Topology control technology allows network nodes to reduce their transmission power while preserving the network connectivity. A MANET is a noncooperative system so that only when a node earns its payment, which can cover its cost, the cooperation can be stimulated.

We design a Truthful Topology Control mechanism (TRUECON) for MANETs to induce the selfish, but rational, network nodes to collaborate. Truth-telling is a dominant strategy in TRUECON. A node needs to reveal its true value in order to obtain the maximum expected utility. We prove the overpayment of TRUECON has a bound depending on different radio propagation models.
