Special Issues

Special Issue on Agent-Based Autonomous Networking for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Submission Date: 2026-10-31 Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are a fundamental component of next-generation wireless systems, enabling decentralized, infrastructure-free communication in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. They are critical for applications such as disaster response, UAV swarms, intelligent transportation, and large-scale IoT systems. However, MANETs still face significant challenges related to scalability, routing efficiency, security, and energy constraints. Recent advancements in Agentic AI and multi-agent systems offer promising solutions for enabling autonomous and adaptive network operations. This Special Issue focuses on integrating intelligent decision-making with robust networking principles to design efficient, secure, and scalable MANET architectures. We invite contributions on protocol design, performance evaluation, real-world implementations, and system-level innovations that advance autonomous networking for practical MANET deployments.

The scope includes the design and analysis of novel routing protocols, resource allocation mechanisms, cross-layer optimization strategies, and trust-aware security frameworks tailored for decentralized environments. We particularly encourage contributions that emphasize rigorous system-level validation, including simulation studies, analytical modeling, benchmarking, and real-world testbed implementations. Topics of interest include energy-efficient networking, scalable architectures, self-healing and resilient systems, and distributed intelligence for dynamic network control. The Special Issue also welcomes applications of MANETs in UAV networks, vehicular networks (VANETs), IoT ecosystems, and mission-critical communication scenarios. Submissions should maintain a strong foundation in networking principles while leveraging intelligent and agent-based methodologies to enhance performance, reliability, and security. Manuscript submission information: Please submit your paper to Editorial Manager®, and select article type name "VSI: AI for MANETs" to ensure your manuscript is included in this Special Issue.
