Self-Healing Quantum-Secured Semantic Communication Framework for Reliable and Scalable WSN-IoT Networks in Beyond-5G/6G Era

Abstract

We present a self-healing quantum-secured semantic communication framework that is suitable for reliable and scalable Wireless Sensor Network-Internet of Things (WSN-IoT) networks in Beyond-5G/6G era. As the systems of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and the Internet of things (IoT) are becoming increasingly complex and sensitive, new methods that combine self-repairing features, powerful safeguarding mechanisms, and semantic-aware data communication are required. This proposed framework not only incorporates semantic communication for meaningful data transmission rather than raw data but also introduces federated edge intelligence for distributed model training while preserving privacy and quantum-resistant encryption for protection against potential future cryptographic challenges. Also, there is a routing system with autonomous repair which detects any network failure and corrects the network in real time, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity. Big Data Analytics is an application that is performed on large amount of sensor data to aid predictive decision making and anomaly detection. Together these elements address scaling, security and resiliency challenges, making the framework suitable for next-gen deployments of IoT. Through experimental evaluation, it is validated to maintain high reliability and efficiency even under varying network conditions. The study proposes a complete solution for WSN-IoT systems for the problems of the gap between theory and practice in the new communication frameworks.
