Multimedia-aware MMSPEED: A routing solution for video transmission in WMSN

摘要

In this article, multipath multi-speed (MMSPEED) protocol will be considered as a wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) routing protocol. Experimental results show that MMSPEED protocol has significant potential in video applications but it does not compatible with special features of multimedia traffic such as high video frame rate, packet's information dependency and frames different reliability. Awareness of MMSPEED about of embedded information in the received packet can lead to better resource utilization in network and MAC layers. Simulation results show that video PSNR significantly increases due to multimedia-aware improvements over MMSPEED.
