Quality of Service (QoS) is a requirement for proper functioning of traditional and modern networks. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is adversely affected because of mobility, harsh communication medium, and environment behavior. Quality of Service is a crucial aspect in WSN design information sent by nodes and delivered according to QoS requirements to provide outside observers accurate vision of monitored phenomena. In WSNs for effective transmission of still images, audio, and video information enforces rigorous necessities on the energy consumption and throughput. In this paper, it is proposed to investigate the performance of routing traffic for multimedia traffic in WSN for multihop nodes from the sink.
Keywords-WirelessSensor Network, packet scheduling, Dynamic Source Routing, Multimedia traffic, one hop nodes.
1.INTRODUCTIONTechnological advances in microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS) and wireless communication technologies ensured the development of tiny, low-cost, low-power, and multifunctional smart sensor nodes in WSN. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are considered to be an important technology for the twenty-first century [1]. These sensor nodes are deployed and networked through internet and wireless links, providing opportunities for various civilian and military applications, like environmental monitoring, battle field surveillance, and industry process control [2]. Development of WSNs was first encouraged by military applications like battlefield surveillance, but they are now used in civilian applications like environment and habitat monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation, and traffic control. Differentiated from traditional wireless communication networks like cellular systems and mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), WSN's unique characteristics like dense node deployment level, sensor nodes higher unreliability and energy, computation, and storage constraints [3] provide new challenges in WSN development and application. Lot of research explored and solved various design/application issues, and major advances were made in their development and deployment.A WSN consists of a huge number ranging from tens to thousands of low-cost, low-power, and multifunctional sensor nodes deployed in a region of interest. Such sensor nodes are small in size and equipped with embedded microprocessors, radio receivers, and power components to enable sensing, computing, communication, and actuation, the components being integrated on a single/multiple boards, and packed in space of a few cubic inches. WSNs communicate over short distances through wireless channels to share information and cooperative processing to complete common tasks. They are deployed globally for environmental monitoring and habitat study, over battlefields for military surveillance and reconnaissance, for search and rescue in emergency situations, for condition based maintenance and process control in factories, for infrastructure health monitoring in buildings and in homes to realize smart homes.In a typical scenario...
