To systematically analyze and synthesize recent machine learning advancements in software-defined wireless sensor networks, focusing on security, routing architectures, and performance optimization.
Conducted a systematic review of 46 peer-reviewed articles published between 2024 and 2025.
Synthesized descriptive cross-study aggregates from over 120 experimental configurations reported in the literature.
Categorized findings across seven thematic domains, including DDoS mitigation, intrusion detection, routing optimization, QoS management, and privacy preservation.
Identified prominent architectural trends toward reinforcement learning for adaptive control, edge-based deployment for latency reduction, and federated learning for privacy preservation.
Observed recurring cross-study trade-offs among model accuracy, inference latency, network scalability, and privacy across diverse topologies and hardware platforms.
Highlighted eight key research gaps, including a shortage of real-world deployments, insufficient multi-dataset benchmarking, and limited scalability assessments.
