Survey on Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network Protocols

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) is new and emerging network of wirelessly connected devices, which consist of video, audio streams, scalar sensor data and others. The goal of these networks is optimized delivery of multimedia data based on quality of service (Qos) parameters, such as delay, channel utilization, network life time throughput and distortion etc. Multimedia network are communicated each packet has strict play out deadlines, thus late arriving packets and lots of packets are equally. This challenging task to guarantee soft delay deadlines along with energy minimization, resource constrained, high data rate in WMSNs. In this paper, we provide survey on different WMSN protocols like Real-time and Energy Aware Qos routing protocol (REAR), Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing for Wireless Networks (GPSR), Direct Diffusion for Wireless Sensor Network (DD), Channel utilization and delay aware routing protocol for Wireless multimedia sensor network (CUDAR). This different protocols with WMSN are compared in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, network life time.
