TY - EJOU AU - Abazeed, Mohammed TI - The Effect of Packet Loss Rate on Multipath Routing for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network T2 - Journal on Internet of Things PY - 2022 VL - 4 IS - 4 SN - 2579-0080 AB - Wireless multimedia sensor networks present unique quality of service and resource management requirements that distinguish them from scalar data in traditional wireless sensor networks. These demands pose a formidable obstacle to sensor nodes, which are resource-constrained and thus require distinct strategies and techniques to operate effectively. Multipath routing improves reliability while conserving the limited resources of sensor nodes. The source node selects the most optimal paths for delivering multimedia packets based on the multi-hop routes. This paper investigates the impact of packet loss on the observed frame rate in multipath routing protocols and evaluates it mathematically at the receiver node. These results define the reliability needs for transmitting video in WMSN. KW - WMSN; reliability; multipath; routing DO - 10.32604/jiot.2022.039598
