Detection of Failed Boundary Nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) plays an important role for monitoring strategic and dangerous hi security sites. Failure of some sensor nodes can lead to a failure of hole system which causes losses such as economical, equipment damage and even risks for human lives. Moreover, failures are unavoidable in WSNs due to hardware constraints, hostile environment, unattended deployment and limited resources. This paper proposes a fully distributed approach, called Boundary Node Failure Detection (BNFD), for an efficient boundary control based on the determination of the WSN boundary. This one is determined using an algorithm which has the property to determine in each iteration the one-hop neighbor of the current boundary sensor. Hence, each boundary sensor knows its direct next boundary neighbor and can communicate with it in order to periodically test its presence. When a situation of failure is detected, a network restructuring will be launched to find a new boundary and an alarm will be triggered. The proposed approach has been implemented and simulated with the Castalia simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed method is energy efficient.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing different environmental phenomena and sending the collected data to the base station or Sink. Since sensor nodes are made of cheap components and are deployed in remote and uncontrolled environments, they are prone to failure; thus, maintaining a network with its proper functions even when und...

متن کاملUnauthenticated event detection in wireless sensor networks using sensors co-coverage
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...

Mobile sensor networks rely heavily on inter-sensor connectivity for collection of data. Nodes in these networks monitor different regions of an area of interest and collectively present a global overview of some monitored activities or phenomena. A failure of a sensor leads to loss of connectivity and may cause partitioning of the network into disjoint segments. A number of approaches have be...
