Recovery of Sensors in Wireless Sensor Networks

The failure in cluster at a high level can bring up great damages to the system in wireless sensor networks where clustering techniques are used. Certain methods have been reported in the literature in recovering the sensors from a failure cluster. One of the most important methods is to recover the sensors in run-time and without clustering. But it is so much ideal to suppose that all the sensors will be recovered. In this paper, we proposed a method that can operate on the remained sensors that are not recovered.
