Network congestion, data accuracy and network lifespan founds to play a major decisive concern for resource restraint in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). Multimedia data comprises larger volume of information which is needed to be transmitted over the network. Since these multimedia collection may comprise of audio, video and scalar data. The utilization of memory and resource for t...

Multi-path routing appears to be an essential feature for supporting the characteristics of wireless multimedia sensor networks. In fact, using multiple paths between the source and the destination can provide adequate network resources required by such networks. However, the effect of wireless interferences between paths severely affects the performance of this approach. In this paper, we prop...

The emerging multimedia applications of Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) impose new challenges in design of algorithms and communication protocols for such networks. In the view of these challenges, error control is an important mechanism that enables us to provide robust multimedia communication and maintain Quality of Service (QoS). Despite the existence of some good research works on error con...

In this paper we present a new tool called BeanWatcher that allows the semi-automatic generation of multimedia monitoring and management applications for wireless sensor networks. Thus, particularities of multimedia management and wireless sensor networks were taken into account. The architecture of the tool is based on a component model flexible enough to allow the creation of new components a...

coverage improvement is one of the main problems in wireless sensor networks. given a finite number of sensors, improvement of the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save cost of sensors for locating in grid points. for achieving good coverage, the sensors should be placed in adequate places. this paper uses the genetic and learning automata as intelligent methods for...
