Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are fundamental components of Internet of Things, smart city, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and intelligent transportation applications. However, their performance is constrained by limited energy, computation, communication bandwidth, and dynamic network conditions, making artificial intelligence an increasingly important tool for improving network efficiency, reliability, adaptability, and longevity.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in artificial intelligence-based techniques for improving the performance of wireless sensor networks. It welcomes original research and review articles on machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, federated learning, and lightweight AI models for energy management, routing, clustering, resource allocation, anomaly detection, localization, and network optimization. Particular attention is given to practical, energy-efficient, secure, and adaptive AI solutions that address resource constraints, dynamic environments, scalability, and real-time operation in WSN and IoT systems.
Suggested themes
· AI-Based Energy-Efficient Routing and Clustering in WSNs
· Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Network Performance Optimization
· Reinforcement Learning-Based Resource Allocation and Adaptive Communication
· Lightweight and On-Device AI for Resource-Constrained Sensor Nodes
· Federated and Distributed Learning in Wireless Sensor and IoT Networks
