Abstract

Aimed at three basic services (event-driven, data query and stream query), the paper presents a QoS routing model for multimedia sensor networks. Moreover, based on the traditional ant-based algorithm, we propose an ant-based service-aware routing (ASAR) algorithm. The ASAR chooses suitable paths to meet diverse QoS requirements from different kinds of services, thus maximizing network utilization and improving network performance. Finally, extensive simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness of our solution and we give a detailed discussion on the effects of different system parameters. Compared to the typical routing algorithm in sensor networks and the traditional ant-based algorithm, our ASAR algorithm has better convergence and significantly provides better QoS for multiple types of services in the multimedia sensor networks.
