The deployment of the sensor nodes in faraway places makes battery replacement a difficult process. As a result, there are energy constraints and security issues. So, the fusion of SDN with WSN is SDWSN, which flexibly brings network management. The main issue here is controller placement, which has an impact on communication dependability, latency, and throughput. The major drawbacks in existing work include high energy consumption, inefficient data collection, increased response time, and poor packet delivery ratio. This paper presents a unique Artificial Intelligence-based method for adaptive quorum-based scheduling and interference-free routing in edge-enabled UAV-assisted Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Networks (SDWSNs). It combines energy-efficient clustering with E-DBSCAN, multiple attribute-based software node authentication, and interference-free routing with the IDEE algorithm. The NS-3 tool was utilized to conduct simulations using a setup consisting of 4 edge-assisted UAVs, 4 SDN controllers, and 100 wireless sensor nodes. The findings show considerable improvements in different performance measures when compared to previous techniques. In particular, this suggested approach reduces latency by 64.77 % when compared to DGRL and 66.30 % when compared to ESRA. Additionally, it uses less energy than DGRL and ESRA by 45.74 % and 51.89 %, respectively. In comparison to DGRL and SRA, the packet delivery ratio is enhanced by 27.27 % and 32.43 %, respectively. Furthermore, the Node Network Lifetime is increased by 24.29 % in comparison to ESRA and 12.99 % in comparison to DGRL. Additionally, our method increases throughput by 22.08 % compared to DGRL and 30.56 % compared to SRA, while reducing the Controller Response Time by 2.39 % compared to ESRA and 6.46 % compared to DGRL.
