With the development of 5G, its security issues have also raised concerns. Therefore, it is an important topic to study the offense and defense confrontation in WSNs. A complete information static game model is established to analyze the offense and defense confrontation problem of WSNs in 5G. An adaptive equilibrium optimizer algorithm (AEO) based on parameter adaptive strategy is proposed, which can jump out of the local optimal solution better. Experiments show that the optimization ability of AEO outperforms other algorithms on at least 80% of the 23 classical test functions of CEC. The convergence speed of AEO is better in the early stage of population iteration. The optimal offensive and defensive strategy under different offense and defense resources through simulation experiments is analyzed. The conclusion shows that when the offensive resources are large, the offender takes an indiscriminate attack. When the defense resources are small, the defender should defend the most important elements, and when the defense resources are large, the defender should allocate the same resources to defend each element to obtain the maximum benefit. This paper provides new solution ideas for the security problems under the offense and defense game in WSNs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23198055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,24]],"date-time":"2023-09-24T10:48:31Z","timestamp":1695552511000},"page":"8055","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["A Game Model for Analyzing Wireless Sensor Networks of 5G Environment Based on Adaptive Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Weimin","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9041-4300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fanying","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2907-0662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ning","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuo","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer Science and Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1617","DOI":"10.1109\/COMST.2016.2532458","article-title":"Next Generation 5G Wireless Networks: A Comprehensive Survey","volume":"18","author":"Agiwal","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
