Abstract: In wireless sensor networks, frequent link failures between nodes caused due to environmental conditions, wireless infrastructure, energy drain, obstacles, etc. To address this problem a Robust Self-Reconfiguration Link Failure and Recovery (RSRLFR) mechanism is proposed here. This technique enables sensor nodes to autonomously recover from the frequent link failures and to improve the network performance. The nodes with temporary faults can be recovered by using the proposed mechanism autonomous network reconfiguration system. This mechanism produces optimal path and to prevent the network from local link failures. The channel re-allocation algorithm is used to restore the connectivity of sensor nodes. The message loss and energy loss are greatly reduced and packet delivery ratio improved wisely and shown in the simulation results.
