Abstract

This Wireless sensor networks often suffer from fails or get damages. This may lead to network partitioning and thus hinder the fulfillment of the network applications. Therefore, it is critical to maintain the connectivity in applications of such networks. In this paper, we propose a movement-assisted connectivity restoration algorithm (MACRA) to achieve network connectivity restoration by using mobile nodes. Firstly, we design a rough connection recovery mechanism to obtain rough areas of sources and destinations for mobile nodes. The advantage of this scheme is to decrease computation complexity and achieve small connection distance and transmission delay. Secondly, we present an accurate connection recovery mechanism to achieve precise locations of sources and destinations for mobile nodes. The advantage of this scheme is to increase network invulnerability and reduce the probability of suffering from network partitioning again. The performance of MACRA is validated through simulation experiments.
