Protocols for wireless multimedia sensornetworks. 01/10/2009 - 30/09/2011

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to define principles for algorithms and protocols related to medium access control, routing and resource allocation in wireless multimedia sensor networks. These allow for QoS provisioning to be supported, taking into account the characteristics of both multimedia streams and wireless sensor networks. These mechanisms are distributed, scalable and adapt to the dynamics the network.
