Improving resource-constrained IoT device lifetimes by mitigating redundant transmissions across heterogeneous wireless multimedia of things

In Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), nodes capable of retrieving video, audio, images, and small scale sensor data, tend to generate immense traffic various types. The energy-efficient transmission such a vast amount heterogeneous multimedia content while simultaneously ensuring the quality service optimal energy consumption is indispensable. Therefore, we propose Power-Efficient Things (PE-WMoT), robust cluster-based mechanism improve overall lifetime WMSNs. PE-WMoT, declare themselves Cluster Heads (CHs) based on available resources. Once cluster formation CH declaration processes are completed, Sub-Cluster (SC) process triggers, in which application base within close vicinity each other organize under administration Head (SCH). SCH gathers data from member nodes, removes redundancies, forwards miniaturized its respective CH. PE-WMoT adopts fuzzy-based technique named analytical hierarchical process, enables CHs select an among SCs. A also devises scheduling between CH, SCH, child enable collision-free transmission. Simulation results revealed that significantly reduces number redundant packet transmissions, improves network, effectively increases network throughput.
