Energy Efficient Cooperative Image Transmission in Multi-Hop Wireless Multi-Media Sensor Networks

Abstract

The world has taken a drastic look towards scalar mobile wireless multi media sensor networks (MWMSN) and almost all the nodes (IOT devices) are connected via the internet. The amount of image, video and data transmission has increased significantly. For battery-powered smart gadgets like smartphones and tablets, energy efficiency is a constant issue. To fully utilise the advantages of the multiple-input-multiple-output technology, MWMSN heavily relies on cooperative communication. Since each node in a cooperative mobile multimedia sensor network is mobile, energy consumption and routing present significant issues. Since each node in the network is mobile, energy consumption and routing pose significant problems for cooperative mobile multimedia sensor networks. To address these challenges optimal cooperative relay selection (OCRS) technique was proposed by utilizing velocity, distance, and connection quality factors. The suggested method bases its determination of the link quality for each pair of nodes on the signal strength and distance values. The highest quality of service (QoS) rating, which is determined to ensure route stability, reliability, and durability, is chosen as the relay nodes. Further, we have proposed an energy efficient cooperative multi media transmission (EECMT) to achieve a better compression rate with lower energy consumption. This approach utilizes the auto-correction code feature present in the QR code to further improve the performance of MWMSN. The simulation result shows that the proposed approach gives better performance and saves the energy up to 39% (approximately) compared to the efficient cooperative image transmission (ECIT), energy efficient relay node placement (EERP) and energy aware cooperative image transmission (EACIT) approaches.
