We are excited to announce that our partner has published two scientific articles in MSWiM 2026 and WiMob 2026. The first article, titled “AI-Enabled Traffic-Aware Closed-Loop Framework for MAC-Layer Control in Multi-Hop IoT Networks”, presents a traffic-aware closed-loop framework for low-power and lossy wireless networks that monitors network conditions, forecasts near-future degradation, and dynamically reconfigures the MAC protocol according to traffic patterns. Experiments on SLICES-FR show that the approach anticipates performance degradation, restores reliability during bursty traffic, and scales to heterogeneous deployments, while avoiding the energy cost of permanently using TDMA. ...

The next PERENNE plenary meeting will take place on June, 15 and 16 2026, at the IMT-A engineering school in Rennes. This meeting will bring together project partners to discuss ongoing research, share technical insights, and review project progress.

We are excited to announce that our partner has published two scientific articles in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks and at CoReS 2026 The first article, titled “FINE-STACK: Flexible architecture for low-power lossy IoT Networks with programmablE network STACK and semantic runtime updates”, introduces a flexible, fine-grained network architecture where lightweight protocol functions are orchestrated centrally, enabling semantic-aware management and fast, selective runtime updates. Its hybrid design combines local control with optional global optimization, improving network stack programmability. Experiments on a real testbed show that this approach enhances operational performance while significantly reducing update size and time, all within the strict resource constraints of low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Overall, FINE-STACK makes practical runtime reconfiguration and network programmability feasible for IoT. ...

We are excited to announce that our partner has published a new scientific article in Elsevier IoT Journal The article, titled “PENSIL: ProgrammablE Network Stack for Low-Power Lossy IoT Networks Using Lightweight Virtualization”, introduces a new network architecture built around a programmable and modular stack for Low-Power and Lossy Wireless Networks (LLWNs). This architecture enables dynamic and semantic reconfiguration of the protocol stack, allowing networks to adapt seamlessly without downtime. A proof-of-concept implementation on real hardware demonstrates that this approach improves performance through fast, lightweight, and secure updates, all while meeting the stringent memory, energy, and processing constraints of LLWN devices. ...
