We propose DCRS, a Distributed Connectivity Restoration Strategy to tolerate the failure of one critical node. Because of the energy restriction of sensor nodes, the energy overhead of the recovery process should be minimized to extend the lifetime of the network. To achieve it, we first design a novel algorithm to identify 2-critical nodes only relying on the positional information of 1-hop neighbors and some 2-hop neighbors, and then we present the criteria to select an appropriate backup for each critical node. Finally, we improve the cascaded node movement algorithm by determining whether a node can move to another non-adjacent node directly or not to reduce the number of nodes moved. The effectiveness of DCRS is validated through extensive simulation experiments.展开更多
