From November 10-13, the 10th IEEE World Forum on the Internet of Things (WF-IoT) took place in Ottawa, Canada. The WF-IoT is the premier global event for advancing IoT technologies and their integration with AI, 5/6G, sensor networks and more. As IEEE’s flagship conference on IoT, it brings together world-leading experts from industry, academia, and government to shape the future of connected IoT systems. Renowned for its cutting-edge research presentations, strategic discussions, and visionary insights, WF-IoT sets the benchmark for excellence in the field. It is the definitive platform for driving innovation, setting standards, and addressing the most critical challenges in IoT.
Best paper “Joint Neighbor Discovery and Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks”
During the paper sessions, Alexander Kemptner presented the paper “Joint Neighbor Discovery and Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks”, which he authored together with his SAL colleagues Julian Karoliny, Christian Hofbauer and Hans-Peter Bernhard, all from the Wireless Communications research unit, and Andreas Springer from Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz. Their outstanding contribution convinced the jury, winning them the Best Paper Award, which Alexander Kemptner accepted from the general chairs Burak Kantarci and Reza Malekian.
This paper presents a novel protocol that builds on the latest neighbor discovery algorithms to enable efficient data exchange and dynamic adaptation in ad hoc wireless sensor networks without the need for coordinating nodes, demonstrating its effectiveness for sensor data transmission in smart logistics.
Hans-Peter Bernhard, Head of Wireless Communications, highly praises his colleagues: “This achievement marks a significant milestone for our team and reflects the dedication, hard work, and innovative thinking that went into this research. We couldn’t be prouder of this recognition, and we look forward to the continued impact our work will have on the field!”
