Due to the serious attenuation of radio in water, acoustic or hybrid communication is a usual way for transmitting information among nodes, which dissipates much more energy to prevent the network failure and guarantee the quality of service (QoS). To address this issue, a topology control with energy balance, namely TCEB, is proposed for UWSN to overcome time-delay and other interference, as well as make the entire network load balance. With the given underwater network model and its specialized energy consumption model, we introduce the non-cooperative-game-based scheme to select the nodes with better performance as the cluster-heads. Afterwards, the intra-cluster and inter-cluster topology construction are, respectively, to form the effective communication links of the intra-cluster and inter-cluster, which aim to build energy-efficient topology to reduce energy consumption. With the demonstration of the simulation, the results show the proposed TCEB has better performance on energy-efficiency and throughput than three other representative algorithms in complex underwater environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18072306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,16]],"date-time":"2018-07-16T11:38:50Z","timestamp":1531741130000},"page":"2306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["A Topology Control with Energy Balance in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks for IoT-Based Application"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9956-3732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhen","family":"Hong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering &amp; Automation, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, China"},{"name":"School of Electrical &amp; Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4691-2008","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoman","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering &amp; Automation, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Provincial Testing Institute of Electronic Information Products, Hangzhou 310007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xianchuang","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science &amp; Technology, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Administration, Zhejiang University of Finance &amp; Economics, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenqi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mechanical Engineering &amp; Automation, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2347","DOI":"10.1109\/COMST.2015.2444095","article-title":"Internet of things: A survey on enabling technologies, protocols, and applications","volume":"17","author":"Guizani","year":"2015","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
