Protocols and Architectures for Next-Generation Wireless Sensor Networks
  

Call for Papers


The massive deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is expected to 
increase exponentially in the next few years, thus allowing millions of 
wireless devices to work autonomously for new applications. These 
next-generation WSNs are also expected to interact with other devices such as 
RFID tags, home appliances, cars, and mobile equipment. When integrated with 
the cloud, these networks could provide pervasive and ubiquitous services to 
the users by providing powerful and unlimited storage infrastructure. The 
current challenges for next-generation WSNs are scalability, decentralization, 
resource scarcity, heterogeneity, and dynamicity. These requirements and 
challenges cannot be fulfilled by traditional WSNs. In addition, the Network, 
Medium Access Control (MAC), and Physical (PHY) layer protocols developed for 
traditional WSNs are not applicable to the next-generation WSNs, where millions 
of battery-powered nodes should operate for longer durations. In other words, 
the next-generation WSNs require the development of novel protocols at each 
layer that must be able to extend the network lifetime from months to years. 
These protocols may allow seamless integration of next-generation WSNs with 
other networks and platforms including internet of things and cloud computing.

This special issue will attract high-quality unpublished research articles on 
protocols and architectures for the next-generation WSNs. Potential topics 
include, but are not limited to:

*       PHY optimization protocols for next-generation WSNs 
*       Rich and reliable routing protocols for next-generation WSNs 
*       Investigating and simulating energy harvesting methods for 
next-generation WSNs 
*       Integrating next-generation WSNs with cloud and internet of things 
*       Secure routing and MAC protocols for next-generation WSNs 
*       Applications of next-generation WSNs for big data, e-Science, and cloud 
computing 
*       Cross-layer optimization and protocols for next-generation WSNs 
*       Simulation and Test-Bed evaluation of protocols for next-generation WSNs
