Abstract

The technological advances in Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (Mems) and wireless communications have enabled the realization of wireless sensor networks (Wsn) comprised of large number of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes communicate in short distances and collaboratively work toward fulfilling the application specific objectives ofWsn. However, realization of wide range of envisionedWsn applications necessitates effective communication protocols which can address the unique challenges posed by theWsn paradigm. Since many of these envisioned applications may also involve in collecting information in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video; additional challenges due to the unique requirements of multimedia delivery overWsn, e.g., diverse reliability requirements, time constraints, high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. Thus far, vast majority of the research efforts has been focused on addressing the problems of conventional data communication inWsn. Therefore, there exists an urgent need for research on the problems of multimedia communication inWsn. In this paper, a survey of the research challenges and the current status of the literature on the multimedia communication inWsn is presented. More specifically, the multimediaWsn applications, factors influencing multimedia delivery overWsn, currently proposed solutions in application, transport, and network layers, are pointed out along with their shortcomings and open research issues.

Résumé

Les évolutions techniques des microsystèmes électroécaniques (MEMS) et des communications sans fil permettent la réalisation de réseaux de capteurs sans fil comportant un très grand nombre de noeuds capteurs à bas coût. Chacun de ces petits noeuds communique à courte distance et collectivement l’ensemble des noeuds réalise une application pour laquelle des protocoles de communication efficaces sont nécessaires. Nombreuses sont les applications envisagées qui traitent de l’audio ou de la vidéo et qui impliquent donc de relever les défis propres au multimédia en matière de fiabilité et de contraintes de temps notamment. C’est ce qui explique le besoin que l’on a aujourd’hui de développer la recherche sur la communication multimédia dans les réseaux de capteurs. Cet article fait le point sur les principaux axes de recherche en ce domaine. Il insiste plus particulièrement sur les applications multimédia dans les réseaux de capteurs, sur les facteurs qui influencent la remise d’objets multimédias dans ces réseaux, ainsi que sur les solutions actuellement proposées et leurs évolutions prévues.
