Abstract

A wireless sensor network is a self-configuring network of sensor nodes. One of the major areas to be concerned in wireless sensor networks is fault management. Due to some undesirable circumstances like crash and energy enervation faults become obvious to occur. In order to avoid performance degradation of deployed system due to these faults, it is essential to detect faults at an early stage. Therefore, an energy efficient cluster-based fault detection system has been designed. This system uses neighbour’s coordination approach to perform failure detection process. In addition to this failure detection, it is also mandatory to detect failure detection of cluster heads. So concept of detector is introduced for it. Failure detection for cluster heads is performed by this detector; a node having maximum residual energy among all cluster heads.
