Wireless Sensor Network Performance Monitoring

Although wireless sensor networks help in the close monitoring and control of real world applications, they suffer from many problems that degrade their functionality and may cause their monitoring operations to fail. This is due to the deviation of the network from its normal operation as a result of sensor device problems, battery issues, and the harsh environment in which they work. The goal of this paper is to propose a new distributed performance algorithm that ensures the detection of such deviations and reduces their impact on network functionality. The results of experiments showed that the proposed algorithm achieved a high level of detection reliability and is resilient to high packet loss.
