QoS Provisioning Using Hybrid FSO RF Based Hierarchical Model for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
Abstract
Our objective is to provide guaranteed packet delivery service in time constrained sensor networks. The wireless network is a highly variable environment, where available link bandwidth may vary with network load. Since multimedia applications require higher bandwidth so we use FSO links for their transmission. The main advantage of FSO links is that they offer higher bandwidth and security, while RF links offer more reliability. The routing in this multitier network is based on directional geographic routing protocol, in which sensors route their data via multihop paths, to a powerful base station, through a cluster head. Some modifications have also been incorporated in the MAC layer to improve the QoS of such systems.
