Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be used for a wide range of purposes and have almost unlimited future potential. Energy depletion, hardware failure, communication connection errors, malicious attacks, and other factors can cause nodes in WSNs to fail. As a result, one of the essential aspects of WSNs is fault tolerance. In this paper, we present a fault-tolerant technique for a clustered WSN . A node is chosen as an alternate cluster head (ACH) to detect the failure of cluster heads (CH) and cluster member (CM) nodes. The alternate cluster head monitors the CH’s performance and copies its results. The malfunctioning of the CM is detected by the CH, and the data from the failed CM will be transferred to CH via ACH. The proposed methodology compares the performance of some existing related algorithms in terms of various metrics such as energy efficiency, number of inactive nodes, number of dead cluster heads, and packet loss.
