Deep Learning-based Prioritized Packet Classification and Optimal Route Selection in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

Abstract

Wireless multimedia sensor networks suffer network congestion due to increased traffic leading to data packet loss and increased energy consumption. Thus, it is essential to have a mechanism for priority-based packet classification to improve the performance and decrease the delay in real-time packets. This paper introduces priority-based packet classification using a word embedding mechanism to extract packet semantics and classification using the long short-term memory model that works based on the different characteristics of the packet header to decide the priority of each packet. Furthermore presents a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm termed butterfly-based rider optimization algorithm, which considers the packet priority and other parameters in optimal route selection. This hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm is developed by merging rider optimization algorithm, and butterfly optimization algorithm. Finally, the experimental results validate the analytical result as well as the performance comparison between the proposed optimal route selection model and the conventional models.
