Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks based Quality of Service Sentient Routing Protocols: A Survey

Abstract: Improvements in nanotechnology have introduced contemporary sensory devices that are capable of gathering multimedia data in form of images, audio and video. Wireless multimedia sensor networks are designed to handle such type of heterogeneous traffic. The ability to handle scalar and non-scalar data has led to the development of various real-time applications such as security surveillance, traffic monitoring and health systems. Since, these networks are an emergent of wireless sensor networks; they inherit constraints that exist in these traditional networks. Particularly, these networks suffer from quality of service and energy efficiency due to the nature of traffic. This paper presents the characteristics and requirements of wireless multimedia sensor networks and approaches to mitigate existing challenges. Furthermore, a review of recent research on multipath routing protocols and multi-channel media access protocols that have quality of service assurances and energy efficiency in handling multimedia data have included.
