Abstract

Recently, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are gained great attentions due to its ability to serve effectively in different applications. However, sensor nodes have energy and computational challenges. Moreover, WSNs may be prone to software failure, unreliable wireless connections, malicious attacks, and hardware faults; that make the network performance degrade significantly during its lifespan. One of these well-known challenges that affect the network performance is the fault tolerance. Therefore, this paper reviews this problem and provides a self-healing methodology to avoid these faults. Moreover, the structure and challenges of wireless sensor networks and the main concepts of self-healing for fault management in WSN are discussed. The results of the proposed method are illustrated to evaluate the network performance and measure its ability to avoid the network failure.
