Wireless sensor networks (WSN) encounter the failures of single and simultaneous sensors in harsh environments. These failures can eventually cause the network partition into disjoint segments. Connectivity restoration is important for routing data and augmented life time of network. This paper introduces the protocol known as Enhancing Connectivity Repairing in WSN with Void Regions (ECRVR). Every partition or isolated region creates a path to the center of an area. After the meeting of different partitions at center, ECRVR minimizes the number of relay nodes by using triangular geometry. The simulation results demonstrate the protocol’s commendable performance.
