A SURVEY ON MULTIPATH ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS

Abstract

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks have very critical applications of military, business and civilian domains. The major issue with these networks is the delivery of captured multimedia data with quality of service suitable for the application, with minimum delay, with less power consumption, and with reliability. Multipath routing is a promising solution to address all these issues. The objective the paper is to present all the literature on multipath routing protocols especially designed for multimedia transmission in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. This paper also helps the researchers to identify the areas of further development to address the problem.
