Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite several constraints in the aspects of computing and wireless communication in wireless sensor networks (WSN), Quality of Service (QoS) is very crucial and is a critical concern. Unlike typical wireless networks, sensed data can be delivered to the sink node while meeting QoS requirements. To achieve this goal, many studies have been published to guarantee QoS in the network layers. This QoS routing is to establish and maintain the path according to QoS requirements. But this traditional model driven approach can be improved by the help of data driven machine learning approach through traffic engineering.
This Special Issue solicits the submission of high-quality unpublished review and research articles that aim at addressing technical issues and challenges associated with QoS routing in wireless sensor networks. Submitted papers should emphasize the development of new protocols and focus on performance evaluation and comparison with existing standards and practices. Both theoretical and experimental studies on practical applications are encouraged.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Network architecture for QoS routing in WSN;
- Machine learning for QoS routing in WSN;
- Multipath QoS routing in WSN;
- Resource allocation algorithms for QoS routing in WSN;
- Security and privacy for QoS routing in WSN;
- Experimental platforms for QoS routing in WBAN;
- Advanced Connectivity Mechanisms for IoT networks;
- IoT/WSN within 5G+/6G use cases and deployments

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
