Efficient Fault-Tolerant Event Query Algorithm in Distributed Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract EN

To overcome the faulty data query problem to improve the accuracy of data query, an efficient fault-tolerant event query algorithm (FTEQ) is proposed, which takes the short-term and long-term spatial and temporal similarities between sensors and environment into considerations.

An imprecise and missing data correction algorithm based on Kalman filter is proposed to correct fault sensing data, and a score rank algorithm also is proposed to assign each sensor an appropriate value to reflect the importance of sensors.

FTEQ performs self-evaluation and cooperative evaluation schemes with its trustful r neighbor nodes to filter fault data query with the importance of sensor.

Simulation results prove that FTEQ performs extremely well in terms of faulty detection rate and data query cost.
