Abstract

Wireless sensor networks collect data from sensor nodes according to each query from users. These query messages are disseminated from the sink node in a multihop manner into the network. However, packet losses may result in the failure of sensor nodes correctly receiving the query message and timely reporting the requested data. In this paper, we propose an immune system inspired approach to locally discover and recover from losses of query messages at sensor nodes. The proposed approach enables high success rate of query messages delivery by utilizing local clusters of "loss detectors" around each sensor node, which cooperate in a distributed and scalable manner to recognize and recover from losses of query messages, similar to antibodies in an immune system.
