Mobile Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Image Compression Task Collaboration Based on Dynamic Alliance

Abstract

In mobile wireless multimedia sensor networks' image compression task collaborations, the existing methods do not consider the dynamic changes in the processing ability and the locations of the cooperative nodes. when processing the image compression tasks, these methods will cause frequent interruptions and result in data re-transmission for those tasks. in this paper, an image compression task collaboration algorithm based on dynamic alliance is proposed to solve this problem in mobile wireless multimedia sensor networks. first, a dynamic task alliance is established by the camera node based on the location, computing capability and resource usage of ordinary nodes. then, the location and average moving velocity of the camera nodes and ordinary nodes are considered to calculate the task stable execution time. the image compression task is divided into an image transfer sub task and an image compression sub task based on the task stable execution time. finally, an image compression task collaboration allocation optimization model is established according to the transmission time, the execution time, the execution cost, and the network energy consumption. the gradient method is used to realize the cooperative allocation of image compression tasks. simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can realize task load balancing, reduce the execution time, and network energy consumption.
