Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) form the backbone of numerous critical applications, ranging from environmental monitoring to defence surveillance, necessitating highly reliable anomaly detection systems to ensure operational integrity and security. Traditional anomaly detection methods in WSNs often struggle with the high dimensionality of sensor data, dynamic environmental conditions, and resource constraints, resulting in suboptimal performance. This research paper introduces a novel framework that leverages advanced machine learning techniques, focusing on utilising deep learning techniques to markedly improve the precision in identifying irregularities within Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). By employing a comprehensive methodology that encompasses data preprocessing, feature engineering, and the deployment of sophisticated Models based on deep learning, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), this study demonstrates a marked improvement in detecting abnormal events within sensor data streams. The proposed models are evaluated against traditional machine learning benchmarks using a collection of performance indicators, including correctness, exactness, sensitivity, and the F1 metric, showcasing their superior ability to generalise and detect anomalies under varied conditions. This research not only addresses the inherent challenges faced by WSNs but also sets a precedent for integrating cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to enhance network reliability and security. The outcomes of this research hold considerable importance for advancing anomaly detection in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), setting the stage for the development of more robust and intelligent systems.
