Abstract

WSN is a wireless sensor network consisting of a large no of sensor nodes. These nodes are deployed in the network for its feature of monitoring. The process of gathering data and communication takes place from nodes to base stations. The base station is the sink to collect all the data. These sensor nodes have some limitations like limited energy in the form of in-built battery, storage capacity. A WSN can go through different types of failure like connectivity, link, node and malfunctions of nodes. WSN should be good at identifying the fault and put it right instead of discarding it. Energy constraint is one of the main problems that occur when sensors are deployed in the environment. So to create a network which consume less energy and has a long lifetime is a challenge. In this paper, fault tolerance (FT) techniques and clustering algorithm is discussed.
