Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of deploying relay nodes to provide desired fault tolerance through multi-path connectivity (k-connectivity) between all sensor nodes in wireless sensor network. Fault-tolerant relay node placement problem in multi-hop wireless sensor networks, specifically given a disconnected wireless network, few additional nodes is to be deployed so that the augmented network will have higher degree of connectivity for fault tolerance. We propose an algorithm based on evolutionary scheme that places optimum number of energy constrains relay nodes to achieve desired connectivity between homogeneous wireless sensor nodes in which the communication range of each sensor node is same. In this work, simulation results of two algorithms are compared for number of relay nodes required to obtain desired k-connectivity and the average value degree of nodes in resulting network.
