Deep Reinforcement Learning Reconfigurable Smart Surface Sensing MAC Protocol for Terahertz Mesh Networks

IET Networks, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes a reconfigurable intelligent surface‐based deep reinforcement learning MAC (RIS‐DRL‐MAC) protocol for terahertz mesh networks. By embedding RIS perception into the MAC decision loop and using a distributed TD3 algorithm, the proposed scheme achieves a cross‐layer optimisation of beam direction, access timing and RIS phase control ...

Carbon‐Aware Scheduling in Cloud Computing Operations: A Multi‐Objective Optimisation Approach

IET Smart Grid, Volume 9, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Dynamic carbon‐aware scheduler using forecasts, optimisation and rolling‐horizon control, minimises cost and emissions by shifting workloads by time and region to match renewables and combines LSTM + boosting forecasts with MILP solved via a constraint‐based multi‐objective method.

A Depth‐Distance Based Energy‐Efficient and Energy‐Balanced Routing Protocol for Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

IET Wireless Sensor Systems, Volume 16, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are essential for ocean‐related applications but face significant energy and communication challenges due to limited battery capacity and reliance on acoustic communication. To address these issues, various energy‐aware routing protocols have been proposed, including EBER2 and SHEEP, which consider factors ...

Fuzzy‐Based Optimized Cluster Head Selection With Energy Prediction for Unequal Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The sensor network consists of several low‐powered electronic sensing devices that are strategically deployed in a predefined area to gather important information. The sensors have low computing capacity, constrained battery energy, and limited storage. Therefore, the sensed data should be communicated to the sink efficiently for further processing. In
