AN IMPLEMENTATION OF RECOVERY ALGORITHM FOR FAULT NODES IN A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Anuradha M S, Deepa Patil

Abstract: This paper proposes a fault node recovery algorithm to enhance the lifetime of a wireless sensor network when some of the sensor nodes shut down. The algorithm is based on the fault node route discovery and fault node detection algorithm. The algorithm can result in fewer replacements of sensor nodes and more reused routing paths. In our simulation, the proposed algorithm increases the number of active nodes, reduces the rate of power consumption,and reduces the rate of energy consumption, number of hops and time taken
