Abstract

A Wireless Sensor Network is a group of multiple detection stations referred as nodes which performs multiple actions (sensing, communicating and computing) in a collaborative manner. Wireless Sensor networks are broadly used in many applications which includes healthcare, defense, smart security systems and many more. But they are facing many issues with Fault Tolerance and reliability. Various investigations are going on for increasing the fault tolerance capabilities of WSNs so that they can be used in critical applications effectively. Different hard and soft faults occur in WSN due to several factors which commonly includes energy depletion, failure of communication link, hardware failure, dislocation of sensor nodes, radio interference, congestion problem, malicious attack, network lifetime problem, etc. The use of Machine Learning technique is a very effective way to overcome these faults as it is important to make the system fault-free. Machine Learning are self-learning process which works without re-programing and human interference. This paper presents the survey of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Time Series methods used to detect anomalies, data centric faults and system centric faults in WSN which are one of the most commonly occurring type of faults in sensor networks.
