Abstract:- Wireless sensor networks are widely used in real world applications as they can sense surroundings and send valuable data to sink. However, the nodes in the WSN are resource constrained. For this reason some of the nodes may fail over a period of time. The failure of some nodes causes the network to be a set of connected components. This is known as “cut”. Detecting such cuts is an important activity in WSNs. Recently Barooah et al. proposed a distributed algorithm for cut detection in WSN. The algorithm enables every node in the network to detect when connectivity to a designated node is lost. It also allows one or more nodes to detect the cut. In such network a node communicates with only other nodes which are in communication range. In this paper we built a custom simulator which demonstrates the proof of concept with respect to cut detection in WSN proposed by Barooah et al. The experiments reveal that the proposed cut detection mechanism is efficient and can be used in the real world applications.
