Abstract

The main objective of this research is to conduct a performance analysis of various multipath routing protocols in wireless multimedia sensor networks for the efficient transmission of the image, audio and video data. To provide efficient routing for the large sized multimedia content, various multipath routing protocols such as energy-aware routing, QoS based routing and geographical routing methods are analyzed. In this analysis, the efficient routing techniques including geographical routing techniques such as GPSR, DGR, PW-DGR presented for wireless multimedia sensor networks are studied and the performance of each technique is evaluated to determine the efficient multipath routing technique. Comparisons are made for evaluated protocols and it is proved that the PW-DGR provides better routing performance for the multimedia data. The findings of the research also show that the PW-DGR method efficiently overcomes the routing problems such as energy bottleneck problem, energy-hole, reduced network lifetime and high delay in packet transmission.
