Optimization of relay node deployment for multisource multipath routing in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks using Gaussian distribution

摘要

In Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks, source nodes send intense multimedia traffic, under strict quality-of-service requirements, to the base station via resource-limited relay nodes. To satisfy such requirements, all discoverable routing paths must be concurrently utilized. The shorter the paths are, the lower the energy consumption and the shorter the packet delay are, resulting in an enhanced network lifespan and higher rates of data delivery.
