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This special issue will attract high-quality unpublished research articles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
