Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) are heterogeneous networks composed of
many different nodes that can cooperatively sense the environment, determine an …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many fields of application, including industrial,
environmental and military domains. Monitoring a given zone is one of the main goals of this …

In WSN, sensors near the sink have to relay the data of the nodes away from the sink and as
a result they drain their energy very quickly. It result in network partitioning and can …

Sensors are used to monitor and control the physical environment. In mobile sensor
networks, nodes can self-propel via springs, wheels, or they can be attached to transporters …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the location of the base station (BS) relative to sensor
nodes is an important consideration in conserving network lifetime. High energy …

Mobile sink trajectory plays a pivotal role for network coverage, data collection and data
dissemination in wireless sensor networks. Considering this, we propose a novel approach …

In this paper, a protocol called Energy Efficient and QoS aware Routing (EEQR) protocol for
Clustered Wireless Sensor Network is proposed. To ensure QoS for different traffic types …

Abstract The Smart Grid (SG) enables electricity and energy exchange between two ends of
the grid. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are considered as an enabling communication …

Recent years have witnessed growing attention to the mobile data gathering schemes using
autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in underwater sensor networks (UWSNs). In this …

Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a promising approach for improving the
performance of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The Q-learning technique is one …
