Wireless Sensor Networks have potential of significantly enhancing our ability to monitor and interact with our physical environment. Realizing a fault tolerant operation is critical to the success of WSNs. The integrity of data has tremendous effects on performance of any data acquisition system. Noise and other disturbances can often degrade the information or data acquired from these systems. Devising a fault-tolerant mechanism in wireless sensor networks is very important due to the construction and deployment characteristics of these low powered sensing devices. Moreover, due to the low computation and communication capabilities of the sensor nodes, the fault-tolerant mechanism should have a very low computation overhead. In this paper, we present a novel method to improve Performance and Fault Detection & Correction in Wireless Sensor Networks by using of Residue Number Systems.
