Cut Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks
ABSTRACT
A wireless sensor network can get separated into multiple connected components due to the failure of some of its nodes, which is called a “cut.” Aim is detecting cuts by the remaining nodes of a wireless sensor network. Proposed algorithm allows 1) every node to detect when the connectivity to a specially designated node has been lost, and 2) one or more nodes (that are connected to the special node after the cut) to detect the occurrence of the cut.
