A Novel Fault Diagnosis Strategy for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Fault diagnosis is a guarantee for the reliable operation of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, and accurate fault prediction can effectively improve the reliability of wireless sensor networks. First, it summarizes the node fault classification and common fault diagnosis methods of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. After that, taking advantage of the short learning time, fewer parameter settings, and good generalization ability of kernel extreme learning machine (KELM), the collected sample data of the sensor node hardware failure is introduced into the trained kernel extreme learning machine and realizes the fault identification of various hardware modules of the sensor node. Regarding the regularization coefficient C and the kernel parameter s in KELM as the model parameters, it will affect the accuracy of the fault diagnosis model of the kernel extreme learning machine. A method for the sensor nodes fault diagnosis of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks based on kernel extreme learning machine optimized by the improved artificial bee colony algorithm (IABC‐KELM) is proposed. The proposed algorithm has stronger ability to solve regression fault diagnosis problems, better generalization performance, and faster calculation speed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy of the hardware fault diagnosis of the sensor nodes and can be better applied to the node hardware fault diagnosis of heterogeneous wireless sensor networks.
