Popis: The inherent complexity of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) makes management and configuration tasks difficult, specially for fault detection and diagnosis. In addition, manual inspections are extremely costly and require a highly skilled workforce, thus becoming impractical as the problem scales. To address this issue, this paper proposes a solution that makes use of machine learning techniques for automated fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) on solar-powered Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We have used the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) methodology and a pre-defined dictionary of failures based on our previous experience with the deployment of WMNs. Thereafter, the problem was solved as a pattern classification problem. Several classification algorithms were evaluated, such as Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Table, k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and C4.5. The SVM presented the best results, achieving a 90.59% overall accuracy during training and over 85% in validation tests.
