Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Developments in wireless communication networks, sensors, and device manufacturing have given rise to the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks. This infrastructure now serves a number of applications, ranging from geographical monitoring, medical care, manufacturing, and transportation to military and surveillance systems.

These have unique challenges that need to be met for efficient deployment and operation. Due to the resource-limited nature of networked sensor devices, the design, both at the hardware and the software level, must be energy-efficient and lightweight and at the same time guarantee the needed levels of performance and security.

This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform to report and present recent advances in the field. Original contributions are solicited in all the relevant issues in wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to:

  • Protocols and architectures for multihop wireless sensor networks;
  • Protocols and architectures for LPWANs;
  • Novel protocols and architectures;
  • Network security protocols;
  • Privacy issues;
  • Novel applications/testbeds;
  • Performance evaluation.

In the last few decades, the concept of Wireless Network-on-chip (WiNoC) has emerged as a promising alternative for Multiprocessor Systems on Chip (MPSOC) to achieve reliable and scalable communication. Worth recalling in this regard is that our research team has already designed, verified and evaluated Multistage Interconnection Networks (MIN) in this field. With respect to the present work, we consider proceeding with further exploring our thoughts on this research area. Firstly, we propose the design and performance evaluation of a hybrid (wireless/wired) MIN, analysing how this augmented network can potentially improve not only the average delay, but also energy consumption. Secondly, we continue with examining the implementation of our advanced DELTA-based MIN architecture on Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerators, while accounting for its potential regularity and scalability in simultaneously maintaining an effective power efficiency and lower latency throughout the DNN operating process. In this context, several metrics have been evaluated in regard to three DNN application cases through implementation of their main respective modules. Full article
