Cross Layer Optimized Transmission for an Energy Efficient Wireless Image Sensor Network
Compared with traditional WSNs, image and multimedia
data in wireless image sensor networks require sophisticated
processing transmission techniques to meet the limited
energy budget. Further image data require time efficiency
and minimal jitter for maintaining the quality of data.
Wavelet coding is used to separate an image into imagepixel-
position and image-pixel-value information. This intraimage
diversity is exploited to reduce the transmitted data
by transmitting only the position information of the
threshold . Simulation results demonstrates that there is no
significant loss in visual quality of image, to the human eye,
for the purpose of identifying an object. The resulting lower
segment length ensures significantly higher bandwidth
utilization, lower jitter and improved energy efficiency. A
cross layer design provides adaptive modulation by
exploiting intersegment dependencies across Physical, MAC
and Application layers.
