Identifying faulty nodes in wireless sensor network to enhance reliability

Abstract

WSN having several major issues to deliver information from source to sink. Such that secure data transmission, energy consumption, balancing the load and fault tolerance will be the major tasks. In the WSN, one node communicates with its neighbour nodes with limited energy source. So if any node does not work properly or become faulty nodes, which have less initial energy level, bandwidth to communicate with faulty nodes. Hence there is a need of system which can overcome with fault and give the reliable communication. Fault may also occur due to the dislocation of sensor nodes, battery depletion or instability of transmission medium.This proposed work will identify the faulty nodes and calculate the end to end delay as well as residual energy. Hence a reliable communication for all nodes in the WSN can be attained.
