The unit disk graph is used to model a wireless sensor network when all sensors have the same communication radius. Hence, the following two optimization problems have been investigated by the researchers: maximal independent set in the network and minimal network dominating set. Since these problems are Np-hard, several algorithms have been presented for their approximation. In this paper, we have presented a honeycomb graph and algorithmic matrix methods for approximating the maximal independent set in the network. Finally, we have confirmed the validity of the algorithm and its complexity and studied it with a numerical example.Keywords: Wireless network, Independent set, Dominating set, Algorithm, Honeycomb network E.
