Q-learning-based semi-fixed clustering routing algorithm in WSNs

In recent years, cluster-based routing protocols have emerged as a core technology for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), attracting significant attention from researchers. This paper introduces a novel semi-fixed clustering algorithm, SFC-QL-IACO, designed to maintain energy balance in WSNs. The algo...
