Abstract: Wireless Sensor Network is monitored with ContikiMAC Cooja flavor to diagnose the energy utilization ratio by nodes and the fault detection process in distributed approach; adopted the Low power Listening (LPL) mechanism with ContikiMAC to prolong the network’s lifetime. LPL locate the root cause of communication issue, get rid of the interruption problems, and get back normal communication state. The LPL mechanism reduces the energy utilization in centralized and distribute approaches. Even more, the distributed approach is best suited for network monitoring when energy utilization is main objective in the presence of LPL. It is also important how soon the faulty node can be detected. In this case, latency has vital contributions in monitoring mechanism and latency is achieved by developing the efficient faulty node detection methodology.
