The future smart cities vision can be developed through leveraging the potentials of Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies. WSN is a resource constrained network where network nodes are tiny devices that are run on battery power. Diverse types of applications such as environmental and habitual monitoring, detection, and tracking, use WSNs. The invention of new network protocols, the establishment of new models for communications, and testing the available solutions in real world environment are some of the current research issues in WSNs. Main challenges in such networks include energy conservation in an efficient way, dealing with variable channel capacity, and the resource constrained nature of such networks. The design of architecture for such networks has a vital role in solving the issues to some extent, i.e., the cross layer design approach is an architectural technique that offers the interaction of different layers together to enhance the performance, minimize the energy consumption, enhance the network life time, and provide Quality of Service (QoS) in real time communications. These are some of the current areas where cross-layer design approaches are being used. This paper presents different types of cross-layer design techniques in wireless multimedia sensor networks. Using such architectural techniques, different state of the art cross-layer optimization approaches are discussed while giving the reader an insight on prominent challenges and issues along with future directions.

“…To support different applications in MIoT and to satisfy the quality requirements, the proposed architecture needs to address the above challenges, our new QoT model for MIoTs applications which is based on a cross layered IoT architecture is composed of different quality factors such as environmental factors, device factors, network factors and application factors. Recently adoption of cross layer model [17], [18] in multimedia communications in IoTs mainly focused on QoS parameters. Modelling QoT based on cross layer model is an interesting part.…”

Multimedia communications play a major role in Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as traffic control and management, environmental monitoring, healthcare, surveillance, event recognition and home monitoring and automation. To ensure the quality of multimedia content to be collected, processed and delivered appropriately in such applications, it is necessary to design and develop a quality aware IoT architecture for multimedia IoT applications. Research on Quality of Experience (QoE) in multimedia communications in IoT has gained attention in recent years. However, the concept of IoT is to connect everything in a smart way without human interaction. Therefore, this paper introduces a new concept of Quality of Things (QoT) for multimedia communications in IoT, a new architecture based on the QoT for multimedia communications in IoTs is also proposed together with its challenges and future research directions.

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), is a network of sensors, which are limited in terms of memory, computing, bandwidth, and battery lifetime. Multimedia transmission over WSN requires certain QoS guarantees such as huge amount of bandwidth, strict delay and lower loss ratio that makes transmitting multimedia is a complicated task. However, adopting cross-layer approach in WMSNs improves quality of service of WSN under different environmental conditions. In this work, an energy efficient and QoS aware framework for transmitting multimedia content over WSN (EQWSN) is presented, where packet, queue and path scheduling were introduced. It adapts the application layer parameter of video encoder to current wireless channel state, and drops less important packets in case of network congestion according to packet type. Finally, the path scheduling differentiates packets types/priority and route them through different paths with different QoS considering network lifetime. Simulation results show that the new scheme EQWSN transmits video quality with QoS guarantees in addition to prolonging network lifetime.
