Abstract

This paper proposes a reliable, intelligent, model-based (hybrid) fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) technique for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the presence of noise and uncertainties. A wireless sensor network is a network formed by a large number of sensor nodes in which each node is equipped with a sensor to detect physical phenomena such as light, heat, pressure, and temperature. Increasing the number of sensor nodes can cause an increase in the number of faulty nodes, which adversely affects the quality of service (QoS). Herein, the WSN modeling is based on an adaptive method that combines the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm with the modified auto-regressive eXternal (ARX) model and is utilized for fault identification in WSNs. The proposed adaptive nonlinear ARX fuzzy C-means (NARXNF) clustering technique obtains both an improved convergence and error reduction relative to that of the traditional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. In addition, the proportional integral (PI) distributed observation is used for diagnosing multiple faults, where the convergence, robustness, and stability are validated by a fuzzy linear matrix inequality (FLMI). To test the proposed method, this technique was implemented through simulation using Omnet++ and MATLAB.
