A Hierarchical-Cellular Fault Management Scheme for Ad Hoc Wireless Sensor Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
Ad Hoc Wireless sensor networks are used in many domestic and critical applications including military, medical, pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Maintenance of wireless sensor networks is of primary concern. Therefore, fault management techniques are devised to avoid network partitioning. This paper proposes a new scheme for fault management in wireless sensor networks. The new technique is hierarchical-based; however, it applies the cellular concept as well. The proposed scheme is energy-efficient, accurate, highly scalable, dynamic and avoids bottlenecks in the network. The algorithm combines the advantages of the hierarchical and cellular schemes Keywords—Fault Management; Wireless Sensor Networks; Hierarchical Scheme; Cellular Scheme

A Hidden Node Aware Network Allocation Vector Management System for Multi-hop Wireless Ad hoc Networks
Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
متن کاملA fault tolerance routing protocol considering defined reliability and energy consumption in wireless sensor networks
In wireless sensor networks, optimal consumptionof energy and having maximum life time are important factors. In this article attempt has been made to send the data packets with particular reliability from the beginning based on AODV protocol. In this way two new fields add to the routing packets and during routing and discovering of new routes, the lowest remained energy of nodes and route tra...

The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol. In this paper, the Balanced Incomplete Block Design theory has been exploited to develop a new MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks using directional ant...
متن کاملA Clustering Scheme for Hierarchical Control in Multi-hop Wireless Networks
In this paper we present a clustering scheme to create a hierarchical control structure for multi-hop wireless networks. A cluster is defined as a subset of vertices, whose induced graph is connected. In addition, a cluster is required to obey certain constraints that are useful for management and scalability of the hierarchy. All these constraints cannot be met simultaneously for general graph...
متن کاملA Distributed Scheme for Securing Middle-Tier Multicast in Hierarchical Sensor Networks
Hierarchical architectures are more and more widely adopted for organizing wireless sensor networks. In such architectures, middle-tier nodes take important roles, and preventing a malicious node from impersonating a middle-tier node and injecting falsified messages becomes critical. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient, distributed scheme to secure the multicast messages from the midd...
