Edge AI for Self-Healing IoT Networks in Harsh Environments
摘要
Self-healing at the network edge is vital for sustaining IoT deployments in settings where safety is measured by seconds and access by weeks. This paper presents an Edge AI-powered Self-Healing framework for IoT networks in harsh environments such as offshore rigs, mines, Arctic bases, and disaster zones. Harsh environments are defined as contexts with extreme temperatures (− 40 °C to + 85 °C), high vibration (> 5 g RMS), electromagnetic interference (> 10 V/m), and physical inaccessibility. The framework integrates a lightweight Distributed Fault Detection Network (DFDN) with Self-Healing Protocol (SHP) mechanisms, achieving 95.8% recovery rate with 12.4-min mean time to recovery. Evaluation on Arctic-IoT and Industrial-Harsh datasets demonstrates superior performance while maintaining computational efficiency for resource-constrained edge devices.
