Abstract

To extend the network life, an ordinal potential game is introduced into network topology control, and a network topology control algorithm based on the Theil entropy measure is designed by improving the revenue function. The revenue function is based on the Theil entropy measure, whose factors are in the residual energy of the nodes and their neighbors. By using a primary payoff function that considers all initial network factors and a secondary one that addresses connectivity in case of reduced residual energy, a segmentation function can calculate the model's payoff. Simulation experiments show that compared to the existing game algorithms of 3DK-RNG, DEBA, and EFPC, the proposed algorithm can effectively eliminate redundant links, reduce node degree and network link length, balance node energy consumption, enhance network load, and extend the network life cycle.•A Network Topology Control Algorithm Based on the Fusion of Thiel Entropy and Ordinal Potential Games.•A network topology control method for extending the network lifecycle is successfully established.•It proposes that the performance of the fusion topology control algorithm is significantly superior to other single algorithms in the paper.
