The document discusses a distributed algorithm for detecting cuts in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where node failures can lead to connectivity issues. Named the Distributed Cut Detection (DCD) algorithm, it allows nodes to identify two types of events: disconnected from source (DOS) and connected but experiencing a cut (CCOS), all through local communication. The algorithm leverages an iterative computational approach to determine network connectivity and has been shown to effectively function across various network sizes and structures.
