Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have achieved significant development because of fast deployment, easy maintenance and low investment compared with traditional wireless networks. Since WMNs are typically used as wireless backbones, they have the nature that the wireless communication is not constant. Hence, it is important to defend them against link or node failures. In this paper we present an innovative algorithm for fault-tolerant base station planning using antenna arrays in the backbone networks. The algorithm first detects the node’s as well as link failure’s and then rectifies them using our proposed algorithm. Our paper propose a solution for building a fault tolerant network that can tolerate up to n faults where n is the number of antenna arrays used.
