An Approach for Controlling Faults in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Clustering

摘要

Fault control and tolerance in wireless sensor network is a challengingproblem because of limited energy, bandwidth, and computational complexity.While facing numerous threats these severely resource constrained nodes areresponsible for data collection, data processing, localization, timesynchronization aggregation and data forwarding. One of the effectiveapproaches to control and tolerate these threats is through clustering. In thispaper we present a new method called Efficient Fault Control Mechanism forfault controlling in wireless sensor networks based on clustering andcluster-head selection. Simulation results show Efficient Fault ControlMechanism has better performance over state of art methods.
