Multipath routing protocol for layered video transport in wireless sensor networks
Résumé
Wireless sensor networks hold a great potential in the deployment of several applications of a paramount importance in our daily life. Video sensors are able to improve a number of these applications where new approaches adapted to both wireless sensor networks and video transport specific characteristics are required. The aim of this work is to provide necessary bandwidth to video streaming through the use of multiple paths while maximizing the network lifetime. A simple multipath routing protocol as well as a priority-based video transport are proposed. Simulations are performed in order to get insight into the performances of our proposals.
