Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become extremely popular for sensing, collecting, and transmitting data across different environments. In particular, the AODV protocol is widely used to improve the behavior of WSNs in various applications. A bottleneck in the protocol's performance is the amount of data that need to be moved between different nodes. This bottleneck becomes evident in applications based on multimedia contents, such as images or videos, in which huge chunks of data need to be delivered over long distances. In this article, we propose a new method to enhance the performance of the AODV protocol. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the performance of the AODV protocol for image-based applications. The technique increases the quality of the delivered images, extends the network's lifetime, and reduces the delay and the network overhead associated with providing such images.

Summary
Mobile Adhoc NETworks (MANETs) are infrastructure free based wireless networks where nodes need to share informations to get the whole network connected. Nodes may be able to move from one position to a another while sending and receiving data. Efficient routing protocols are crucial to keep data transmitted while nodes change their locations [3]. This means that nodes need to provide a local connection in order to share information about the network condition. This includes updating routing tables to discover better routes for the data transmission, when needed [4]
