Abstract :
An approach is proposed for a self-recovery algorithm (SRA) to be embedded in an autonomous and reprogrammable controller device that would be used to monitor a system, sense failures of the system components and find a solution to recover the functionality of the system as much as possible. The approach presented here is on the scenario of self-recoverable antenna arrays, perceived as one of the vital interests in today´s world of ubiquitous communication. The SRA is presented when run on a desktop computer and an field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) chip, to show the effectiveness of the approach on a few examples.
