Node failure is one of the most severe problems that wireless sensor and ac-tuator networks (WSANs) have to deal with. The failure of actuator nodes, in particular, may result in substantial consequences such as network partitioning, incorrect and incomplete decision execution for WSANs. This paper proposes an efficient localized scheme, called LANTR, to repair the damaged topology of inter-actuator network while single actuator node paralyzes. For the failure of an ordinary actuator node, LANTR can rapidly repair the topology through relocating only one-hop neighbors of the failure node, meanwhile, keep the original topology structure as much as possible. Given the magnitude of cut vertex actuators playing on the connectivity, LANTR designs a novel method for each cut vertex to select out a specific guardian node with the minimum degree or minimum cumulative degree from its neighbors, which can reduce the repair influence on the original topology and effectively reduce the coverage loss rate. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated and compared with several existing representative topology repair schemes, and the results indicate that LANTR can more ef-fectively and efficiently repair the topology of inter-actuator networks.
