Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the areas based on smart networks where interconnected and autonomously managed interactive devices and sensor nodes are connected for different services. The main objective of these networks is to intelligently sense and monitor the data and forward them for further processing. Edge- and cloud-based networks are connected with IoT networks to facilitate users by using wireless and wireless mediums. Routing and data communication is one of the fundamental requirements for IoT networks. Routing is always one of the significant areas for these networks. Advanced communication technologies are adopted such as Wi-Fi, 5G, and short- and long-range communication technologies. However, traditional wired network solutions do not perform well against more complex IoT services and massive data processing. This Special Issue covers the IoT network requirements, data center networks, massively parallel mining networks, hyperconnected networks, and edge-based analytics networks protocols and communication standards. Additionally, review articles which provide detailed 5G mobile network integration for high-speed data communication in IoT networks are also welcome. The potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Routing protocols for IoT and sensor networks;
  • Layer-based data communication solutions;
  • New emerging standards and architectures for IoT and sensor networks;
  • New applications and services for IoT and sensor networks;
  • Green energy-efficient protocols for IoT and WSN;
  • Energy harvesting/scavenging for WSN and IoT;
  • Security, trust, and privacy architectures for WSN and IoT;
  • Future trends for IoT and WSN networks;
  • IoT resource management and monitoring;
  • IoT platforms for smart homes and industries;
  • Big data analytics and distributed networks;
  • Blockchain solutions for IoT and WSN networks;
  • SDN and edge networks for IoT and WSN networks.

Since low-power Wi-Fi sensors are connected to the Internet, effective radio spectrum use is crucial for developing an efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for Wi-Fi sensor networks. A connectivity-based multipolling mechanism was employed for Access Points to grant uplink transmission opportunities to Wi-Fi nodes with a reduced number of multipolling frame transmissions. The existing connectivity-based multipolling mechanism in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs with many nodes may require excessive time to derive the optimal number of serially connected sequences due to the backtracking algorithm based on the Traveling Salesman Problem model. This limitation hinders the real-time implementation of the connectivity-based multipolling mechanism in Wi-Fi sensor networks. In this study, an efficient node insertion algorithm is proposed, by which the number of derived serially connected multipolling sequences that cover nodes in Wi-Fi sensor networks converges to only one as the number of Wi-Fi sensors increases in Wi-Fi sensor networks. As verified by simulation experiments for Wi-Fi sensor networks, the proposed node insertion algorithm produces a near-optimal number of multipolling sequences that cover the nodes in Wi-Fi sensor networks. This study proposes a node insertion algorithm for the real-time implementation of the connectivity-based multipolling mechanism in MAC protocol for Wi-Fi sensor networks. Full article

In the dynamic and ever-evolving realm of network security, the ability to accurately identify and classify portscan attacks both inside and outside networks is of paramount importance. This study delves into the underexplored potential of fusing graph theory with machine learning models to elevate their anomaly detection capabilities in the context of industrial Internet of things (IIoT) network data analysis. We employed a comprehensive experimental approach, encompassing data preprocessing, visualization, feature analysis, and machine learning model comparison, to assess the efficacy of graph theory representation in improving classification accuracy. More specifically, we converted network traffic data into a graph-based representation, where nodes represent devices and edges represent communication instances. We then incorporated these graph features into our machine learning models. Our findings reveal that incorporating graph theory into the analysis of network data results in a modest-yet-meaningful improvement in the performance of the tested machine learning models, including logistic regression, support vector machines, and K-means clustering. These results underscore the significance of graph theory representation in bolstering the discriminative capabilities of machine learning algorithms when applied to network data. Full article
