Abstract—Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) are becoming more challenging day by day; some of major challenges are security attacks, packet drops, high power consumptions, low battery backup and some connectivity problems, but the most significant problem is providing quality service under harsh environments, where sensor nodes, facing several problems such as batteries of sensor nodes not working properly, when temperature goes to very low in winter, reliability of monitoring system, energy and power losses etc, hence performance of network degrades greatly. By applying an Efficient Network Management Scheme (ENMS), we can handle these major drawbacks thus our network working accurately even in harsh environments. In this paper we have discussed Security, Fault and Performance management related issues in Wireless Sensor Network.

Index Terms—Wireless sensor networks, security management, fault management, performance management.
