Towards Optimal Software Rejuvenation in Wireless Sensor Networks using Self-Regenerative Components

Abstract

The existing researchers on security for sensor networks have mostly concerned about only reconfiguration or only rejuvenation or both mechanisms for adaptation of sensor networks. In this paper we employ self-regenerative software components in order to perform optimal software rejuvenation in wireless sensor network with a view to increase the availability of sensor nodes in sensor networks. Here, the model uses self-regenerative capabilities for detecting misbehaving in node level and apply software rejuvenation in optimal time scheduling in order to extend the availability of sensor networks. In this paper we propose a general framework for optimal self-regenerative rejuvenation Scheduling. The security analysis shows the feasibility of our approach.
