Multimedia Sensor Networks

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) have got capacity to collect both scalar sensor data and multidimensional sensor data. It is the basis for the Internet of things (IoT). Quality of service (QoS) pointers like energy efficiency, reliability, bit error rate, and latency can be helpful in data collection estimation over a network. In this paper, we review a number of QoS strategies for WMSNs and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the IoT context from the perspective of the MAC and application layers as well as the cross-layer paradigm. Considering the MAC layer, since it is responsible for regulating the admittance to the shared medium and transmission reliability and efficiency through error correction in wireless transmissions, and for performance of framing, addressing, and flow control, the MAC protocol design greatly affects energy efficiency. We thus review a number of protocols here including contention-free and contention-based protocols as well as the hybrid of these. This paper also surveys a number of state-of-the-art machine-to-machine, publish/subscribe, and request/response protocols at the application layer. Cross-layer QoS strategies are very vital when it comes to system optimization. Many cross-layer strategies have been reviewed. For these QoS strategies, the challenges and opportunities are reviewed at each of the layers considered. Lastly, the future research directions for QoS strategies are discussed for research and application before concluding this paper.

Transmission Capability

A large amount of image and video streaming need to be transmitted in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs), and a single path can not meet the requirement of image and video streaming transmission. Multipath routing protocol can increase transmission capability and be appropriate for WMSNs. TPGF is the first multipath routing protocol which is suitable for WMSNs. After TPGF is analyzed deeply, we propose an Energy Balancing Multipath Routing protocol (EBMR) which considers nodes' residual energy and the distance between the node and the sink. Compared to TPGF, EBMPR can more evenly consume nodes' energy and prolong the network lifetime. Simulation results show the advantage of EBMR.
