RETRACTION: Energy-Optimal and QoS-Aware Data Transmission in Dynamic Mobile Sensor Networks via Scalable Federated Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

RETRACTION: M. Senthamilselvi and C. R. Kumar, “ Energy-Optimal and QoS-Aware Data Transmission in Dynamic Mobile Sensor Networks via Scalable Federated Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning,” International Journal of Communication Systems 39, no. 7 (2026): e70476, https://doi.org/10.1002/dac.70476.

The above article, published online on 11 March 2026 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) has been retracted by agreement between International Journal of Communication Systems and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction has been agreed following concerns raised by third parties regarding inconsistencies in the published article. An investigation conducted by the publisher determined that the version of the article ultimately published does not correspond to the version that underwent peer review and editorial assessment. Following the acceptance decision, substantially different content that had not been subject to peer review or editorial evaluation was incorporated into the article by the authors. As the published version did not undergo appropriate peer review and subsequent post-publication assessment did not support its publication, the article has been retracted. The authors disagree with the retraction decision and maintain that there was no deliberate intention to circumvent the peer review or editorial evaluation process.
