Abstract

Provisioning network survivability is especially crucial in wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) because nodes deployed in hostile environments are prone to frequent failures. Failure of an actor significantly impact actor connected coverage which is essential for effective network operation. Existing mobility-based recovery schemes are either geared towards restoring inter-actor connectivity or area coverage. None of them consider sustaining actor coverage (i.e., having sensors reachable to actors) while restoring inter-actor connectivity. This paper presents RACE, a novel mechanism to Restore Actor Connected Coverage with reduced recovery overhead. RACE distinguishes critical/non-critical actors based on 2-hop information to better assess the scope of the failure and optimize the recovery procedure. Neighbors of a failed actor employ a cooperative failure detection scheme and only perform a limited-scale network reconfiguration to adopt any bereaved sensors left unreachable (uncovered by an actor) due to failure of a non-critical actor. In case a critical actor fails, RACE substitutes it with a non-critical neighbor that has the least impact on coverage (i.e., number of sensors). If it is necessary to engage critical actors in the recovery, RACE is recursively applied by relocating actors until a non-critical node is picked. Simulation results confirm the performance advantage of RACE compared to the best contemporary schemes. © 2015 IEEE.
