description Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets have been proven to be highly effective at handling uncertain data and have gained importance in decision-making processes. Torra’s hesitant fuzzy model, on the other hand, offers a more generalized approach to fuzzy sets. Both of these frameworks have demonstrated their efficiency in decision algorithms, with numerous scholars contributing established theories to this research domain. In this paper, recognizing the significance of these frameworks, we amalgamated their principles to create a novel model known as Q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy sets. Additionally, we undertook an exploration of Aczel–Alsina aggregation operators within this innovative context. This exploration resulted in the development of a series of aggregation operators, including Q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy Aczel–Alsina weighted average, Q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy Aczel–Alsina ordered weighted average, and Q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy Aczel–Alsina hybrid weighted average operators. Our research also involved a detailed analysis of the effects of two crucial parameters: <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>λ</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>, associated with Aczel–Alsina aggregation operators, and N, related to Q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy sets. These parameter variations were shown to have a profound impact on the ranking of alternatives, as visually depicted in the paper. Furthermore, we delved into the realm of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), a prominent and emerging network technology. Our paper comprehensively explored how our proposed model could be applied in the context of WSNs, particularly in the context of selecting the optimal gateway node, which holds significant importance for companies operating in this domain. In conclusion, we wrapped up the paper with the authors’ suggestions and a comprehensive summary of our findings.
