Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

The new challenge: mobile multimedia sensor networks

Along with the fast development of sensor hardware, traditional scalar sensor nodes are now provided with both multimedia and mobility functions. By observing this emerging combination of these two functions into traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs), we take the opportunity in this paper to highlight a subset of WSNs, which we name as “Mobile Multimedia Sensor Networks (MMSNs)”. Furtherm...

Cross-Layer QoS Architecture with Multipath Routing in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

This paper proposes a multipath routing algorithm using cross-layer architecture in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) to provide QoS guaranteed delivery of data. When the algorithm proposed in this study establishes the path from source to destination node, it takes into account a distance to sink node, and energy level and link quality of neighbor nodes. It also specifies a service q...

RoCoMAR: Robots' Controllable Mobility Aided Routing and Relay Architecture for Mobile Sensor Networks

In a practical deployment, mobile sensor network (MSN) suffers from a low performance due to high node mobility, time-varying wireless channel properties, and obstacles between communicating nodes. In order to tackle the problem of low network performance and provide a desired end-to-end data transfer quality, in this paper we propose a novel ad hoc routing and relaying architecture, namely RoC...
