Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid growth of IoT across various industries promotes AI adoption in many aspects towards the intelligence of anything, computing, and communications. This enables intelligence of all connected devices and systems capable of learning, reasoning, planning, problem-solving, maintenance, self-awareness, smart event perception, decision-making and response under given contexts. For instance, IoT through 6G communications makes big data streaming and learning in the cyberspaces possible to offer intelligence for systems, which fosters new applications such as smart manufacturing, smart energy, remote controls, and smart healthcare.

The focus of this Special Issue is to highlight theoretical advances and innovative R&Ds in the areas of intelligent IoTs and AI-based network communications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
  • IoT System, Architecture, Protocols, and Intelligence
  • Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
  • 6G and intelligent wireless communications
  • Sensors, remote systems, and cyber communications
  • AI-based computer vision, image processing, and object detection
  • AI Algorithms and applications
  • Edge and could computing
  • AI-based IoT and 6G network management
  • Deep learning and reasoning

Flooding risk is a threat to many sea-level cities and residential areas in the world. In the city Kristianstad in southern Sweden, a large number of sensors of different types have been deployed to monitor rain and other weather conditions, water levels at sea and lakes, ground water levels, and water flows in the city’s storm-water and sewage systems. All the sensors are enabled by battery and wireless communication, and allow real-time data to be transferred and visualized on a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) portal. To better enable the system with capacity of foreseeing upcoming flooding threats and to allow early response from decision-makers, it is desired to build a real-time flood forecast system by utilizing the massive sensor data collected at the IoT portal and data from 3rd party weather forecast service. In this article, we have developed a smart flood forecast system using machine learning and artificial neural networks. The developed forecast system has successfully integrated data from multiple sources and can make accurate flood forecast at distributed locations for the coming days. After being successfully implemented as software product and integrated with the city’s IoT portal, our developed flood forecast system has significantly extended the basic monitoring functions of the city’s IoT infrastructure. This article presents the context of this work, the challenges that have been encountered during our development, our solutions and performance evaluation results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale IoT-based real-time flood forecast system that has been enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) and deployed in real world. Full article

In the Internet of Things (IoT), Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs) are designed to provide low energy consumption while maintaining a long communications’ range for End Devices (EDs). LoRa is a communication protocol that can cover a wide range with low energy consumption. To evaluate the efficiency of the LoRa Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN), three criteria can be considered, namely, the Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), Energy Consumption (EC), and coverage area. A set of transmission parameters have to be configured to establish a communication link. These parameters can affect the data rate, noise resistance, receiver sensitivity, and EC. The Adaptive Data Rate (ADR) algorithm is a mechanism to configure the transmission parameters of EDs aiming to improve the PDR. Therefore, we introduce a new algorithm using the Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB) technique, to configure the EDs’ transmission parameters in a centralized manner on the Network Server (NS) side, while improving the EC, too. The performance of the proposed algorithm, the Low-Power Multi-Armed Bandit (LP-MAB), is evaluated through simulation results and is compared with other approaches in different scenarios. The simulation results indicate that the LP-MAB’s EC outperforms other algorithms while maintaining a relatively high PDR in various circumstances. Full article
