A Distributed Algorithm for identifying failures in WSN

Abstract

A wireless sensor network is a technology for monitoring physical or environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, sound etc. A WSN can get separated into multiple connected sensors. But some nodes may fail because of mechanical, electrical problems, environmental degradation, battery depletion, or hostile tampering, which is called a “CUT”. The problem of detecting cuts by the neighboring nodes of a wireless sensor network. The proposed algorithm will achieve (i) every node to detect when the connectivity to a specially designated node has been lost (ii) one or more nodes to detect the occurrence of the cut. The algorithm is distributed and asynchronous: every node needs to communicate with only those that are within its communication range. The algorithm is based on iterative computation of a fictitious “electrical potential” of the nodes. The convergence rate of the underlying iterative scheme is independent of the size and structure of the network.
