Abstract—Fault tolerance has been identified as key
challenges in the design and operations of Wireless Sensor
Network (WSNs). Failures are inevitable in wireless sensor
networks due to inhospitable environment and unattended
deployment. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the networks
for recovery from the failure to sustain it. WSNs are
self-organized using clustering algorithms to conserve energy.
LEACH (Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy) protocol
is one of the significant protocols for routing in WSN. In
LEACH, sensor nodes are organized in several small
clusters where there are cluster heads in each cluster. These
CHs gather data from their local clusters aggregate them &
send them to the base station. The proposed scheme is
supposed to be an efficient fault detection and recovery
mechanism to make the network fault-tolerant and achieve
reliability and quality of service. Performance analysis and
evaluation will be made using several scenarios of wireless
sensor networks.
Index Terms—Fault detection, fault recovery, fault tolerance,
