Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become a new information collection and monitoring solution for a variety of applications. Faults occurring to sensor nodes are common due to the sensor device itself and the harsh environment where the sensor nodes are deployed. In order to ensure the network quality of service it is necessary for the WSN to be able to detect the faults and take actions to avoid further degradation of the service. The goal of this paper is to locate the faulty sensors in the wireless sensor networks. We propose and evaluate a localized fault detection algorithm to identify the faulty sensors. The implementation complexity of the algorithm is low and the probability of correct diagnosis is very high even in the existence of large fault sets. Simulation results show the algorithm can clearly identify the faulty sensors with high accuracy.
