The paper entitled "Joint Neighbor Discovery and Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks" was selected as the best paper at the IEEE 10th World Forum on Internet of Things (WF-IoT) conference. The conference took place from 10/11/2024 - 13/11/2024 in Ottawa, Canada. The prize was awarded on 13/11/2024 by the Conference Chairs Burak Kantarci and Reza Malekian.

This paper presents a novel protocol that builds on the latest neighbor discovery algorithms to enable efficient data exchange and dynamic adaptation in ad hoc wireless sensor networks without the need for coordinating nodes, demonstrating its effectiveness for sensor data transmission in smart logistics.
