The Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely utilized in various industrial and environmental monitoring applications. The process of data gathering within the WSN is significant in terms of reporting the environmental data. However, it might occur that certain sensor node malfunctions due to the energy draining out or unexpected damage. Therefore, the collected data may become inaccurate or incomplete. Focusing on the spatiotemporal correlation among sensor nodes, this paper proposes a novel algorithm to predict the value of the missing or inaccurate data and predict the future data in replacement of certain nonfunctional sensor nodes. The Long-Short-Term-Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM RNN) helps to more accurately derive the time-series data corresponding to the sets of past collected data, making the prediction results more reliable. It is observed from the simulation results that the proposed algorithm provides an outstanding data gathering efficiency while ensuring the data accuracy.
