IoT Reliability: An Approach to Enhancing Network Resilience and Fault Tolerance

Abstract

The growing dependence on Internet of Things (IoT) devices highlights the essential need for fault tolerance to ensure device reliability despite common faults that can disrupt operations. Traditional techniques such as majority consensus and triple modular redundancy have been widely used but often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern IoT networks. As IoT applications evolve, there is a growing demand for innovative fault-tolerance strategies that integrate advanced technologies to enhance system resilience. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of current fault-tolerance techniques, examining their strengths and limitations. It also introduces a unique framework aimed at achieving significant improvements in network reliability through the integration of contemporary methodologies. The proposed approach offers a scalable and efficient solution to the challenges faced by modern IoT systems, paving the way for robust and reliable IoT infrastructures capable of handling dynamic environments and unpredictable faults.
