A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network that monitors the physical environment using small and energy-efficient sensor devices. The wide application of WSNs has caused them to be used in critical applications that require a quick response, even at the cost of higher consumption. In recent years, Fast Reroute (FRR) technology has been developed, which accelerates network recovery after line or node failure. This technology plays an important role in connection recovery and data recovery, which helps speed up detection and redirect traffic. In our work, we created a new modification of the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, where we added the fast detection of link failure used in the FRR area. This modification rapidly increased connection recovery time and was tested in the OMNET++ simulation environment. The modification was implemented based on an additional RFC 5880 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) module, which speeds up failure detection by sending quick “Hello” messages.
