Simulation and Comparison of Routin protocol of Multi-Media Wireless Sensr Networks Using NS-2

Abstract

The multi-media communication in Wireless Sensor Networks has got vital importance these days particularly in military applications for surveillance. Since, the nodes are deployed so randomly, making sure that communication is up and running in every scenario, is a challenging task. The communication among the nodes (sensors) in WSNs has posed different issues at different OSI layers. Therefore, there is a need to bring efficiency in the working of protocols at these layers. But amongst them, routing layer has issues of unique kind which can be resolved only by keeping in view of the different constraints of this network like low energy consumption, and low latency, particularly for multimedia communication. We have set our goal towards routing. For that, we will simulate and compare certain routing protocols, specific to Sensor Networks, and compare their results. We will take the energy dissipation, average network latency and throughput as the deciding parameters for the efficiency of the given protocols
