As the wireless sensor network emerges as a revolution in all aspects of our life like health monitoring, wildlife monitoring, search and rescue, so it is desirable to have a reliable routing protocol for dealing with the routing issues of mobile sensor nodes. There exist a problem of battery which is also the main constraint for sensor nodes so routing protocol should be energy efficient. Also, fault tolerance is one of the most significant of many challenges in these networks. So in this study, the fault tolerant at different levels has been discussed and the solution to this problem achieve fault tolerance of cluster heads while routing and mobility management of mobile sensor nodes to reduce packet loss during data transmission in MWSN.
