QoS routing algorithm for wireless multimedia sensor networks

Abstract

As a novel information acquiring and processing technology, compared to other traditional sensor networks, wireless multimedia sensor networks pay more attention to the information-intensive data (e.g. audio, video, image). Potential applications of wireless multimedia sensor networks span a wide spectrum from military to industrial, from commercial to environmental monitoring. This paper discusses QoS routing problem model with multiple QoS constraints, which may deal with the delay, delay jitter and bandwidth, and presents QoS routing algorithm with multiple constraints based on genetic algorithm, and gives the algorithm idiographic flow. Simulating results show that higher routing successful ratio and faster convergence is achieved in the algorithm. © Springer-Verlag 2009.
