Selection of Optimal Path for the Communication of Multimedia Data in Internet of Things

The futuristic demands of multimedia applications requires an extensive exchange of complex data attributes in the context of Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMT). The exploration of the current research gap in this field shows that there is a need to develop an optimized routing technique for IoMT, which can cope-up with different network attributes, physical objects and fulfill communication requirements with cost-effective services and delivery modules. This paper proposes a cross-layer design optimization for multimedia applications in IoMT where the prime focus has been laid towards communication performance aspects such as packet delivery ratio, energy constraints and maximizing the low-cost energy utilization. The proposed employs Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for selection of optimal path between source and destination IoT nodes. To ensure this, an extensive simulation outcome validates the performance of the proposed system.
