Fault Tolerance and Implementation in Wireless Networks

Fault Tolerance and Implementation in Wireless Networks

Abstract:

The project abstract deals with the analysis of fault occurrences in the wireless networks and how the faults are monitored and tolerated in order to provide a good performance for the users through out the network. The focus is mainly on survivability, reliability and performance of the wireless networks in packet switched telecommunications and high speed data network where there is more chance of implementing the fault tolerance by paying attention to the survivability and repair of the wireless network. One of the most important factors is reliability of computer and network, as the number of users increased, the utilization of individual components increased with high speed occurring at same pace which lead to increase in fault tolerance so as to over come. Another important factor is internet for communication in wireless network which need a constant mode of operation. The failure may be caused not only through these two factors but there are other factors that affect the components of system and networking.The deploying of fault tolerance mainly concentrates on performance, reliability, scalability, security and critical safety and privacy over the network.

The techniques for implementation of fault tolerance, it deals with mainly focusing on maximum prevention of network failure through wireless sensors, design and space allocation, managing traffic and restoration, privacy, securityover the wireless connected network and also metrics quantifying the network existence at each layer including the design of contend spatial and temporal network behaviors. The internet for wireless network is to develop a fault tolerance data center. Various algorithms have been proposed for the fault tolerance but this project deals more with the communication where a localized algorithm is developed that will require only required amount of communication.The deployment of this fault tolerance is tested offline also focusing on the cost and quality of the used components. The wireless networks consists of thousands of nodes that constitute a distributed embedded network that will handle sensing, actuating, communicating, signal processing, computation and communication tasks over the network.

Here, in this paper we will be dealing with presenting a detail analysis report by concentrating on various proposed wireless technologies and study these wireless networks including the behavior of these on the network and through out the network, monitoring network, fault tolerance, what are the techniques for fault tolerance and how the deployment of the fault tolerance is done in wireless networking by making a detail analysis in the below mentioned references.
