Performance Analysis of Video Transmission Over Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks

Wireless multimedia sensing network, used to transmit multimedia files over zigbee wireless communication, faces a big challenge in terms of transmission bandwidth and node lifetime. In this paper, we will implement the testbed of 6LoWPAN transmission for video service. We used Contiki OS to implement the wireless zigbee Zigduino nodes. We first simulated the packet loss of video transmission to optimize the packet loss recovery mechanism. Then we conducted the testbed to analyze the performance and feasibility of the wireless zigbee communication for video transmission.
