Recent research in Self-Organizing Network Architectures and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) emphasizes the development of autonomous, adaptive, and scalable mechanisms that enable networks to self-configure, self-heal, and self-optimize without centralized control. These architectures leverage distributed algorithms, bio-inspired models, and artificial intelligence techniques to dynamically manage topology, routing, and resource allocation in response to environmental and network changes. Protocols based on self-organization enhance energy efficiency, fault tolerance, and robustness by allowing sensor nodes to collaborate in maintaining connectivity and balancing workloads. Moreover, studies have explored self-organizing clustering and adaptive routing approaches that integrate context awareness and learning-based decision-making to improve network lifetime and communication reliability, making them essential for next-generation IoT and large-scale sensor network applications.
