Abstract Topology control is a key energy-saving technology in the wireless-sensor networking. In this paper, networking-associated algorithm named local minimum spanning tree (LMST) employed while compromising on energy balance issues, leading to the short lifetime of the network, and proposes an energy balance algorithm. The algorithm fully investigates the energy utilization to link the data communication and the remaining energy of the communication node, to achieve the balanced energy, and to avoid the complexities associated with excessive consumption of energy when the intermediate node acts as a data forwarding task, thus extending the network life cycle. The simulated experimental outcomes showed a great potential of the proposed algorithm that can efficiently prolong the network lifetime and guarantee the long-term reliable operation of the network while ensuring other network performance indicators, such as throughput and delivery rate.
