Node failure handling through localized relocation over wireless sensor network

Abstract

Communication over WSN under environmental hazards is a major issue. These constraints may have an impact over the behavior of the sensors/routing protocols and resource consumption; thus, may lead to the node failure condition i.e. software/hardware failure, security threats, excessive energy consumption, etc. It is necessary to analyze the impact of failure over network performance. In this paper, a node failure management solution is proposed, and its performance is analyzed using different protocols i.e. LEACH, AODV, and DSDV.
