Connectivity Resotration Techniques for Wireless Sensor and Actor Network (WSAN), A Review

Abstract

Wireless Sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the most promising research area in the field of wireless communication. It consists of large number of small independent sensor and powerful actor nodes equipped with communication and computation capabilities. Actors gather sensor’s data and react collaboratively to attain application particular assignments. A powerful connected inter-actor network is required to coordinate its operations. Actor node may fail due to the battery depletion or any hardware failure and this failure may divide the network into disjoint segments. This problem can degrade the network performance but also reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of the network. To restore the network into its original state, the researchers have proposed many connectivity restoration techniques during last few years. This paper provides a brief review of the existing connectivity restoration techniques for WSANs with their advantages and limitations.
