Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are a special type of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) where large amounts of multimedia data are transmitted over networks composed of low power devices. Hierarchical routing protocols typically used in WSNs for multi-path communication tend to overload nodes located within radio communication range of the data collection unit or data sink. The battery life of these nodes is therefore reduced considerably, requiring frequent battery replacement work to extend the operational life of the WSN system. In a wireless sensor network with mesh topology, any node may act as a forwarder node, thereby enabling multiple routing paths toward any other node or collection unit. In addition, mesh topologies have proven advantages, such as data transmission reliability, network robustness against node failures, and potential reduction in energy consumption. This work studies the feasibility of implementing WMSNs in mesh topologies and their limitations by means of exhaustive computer simulation experiments. To this end, a module developed for the Synchronous Energy Saving (SES) mode of the IEEE 802.15.5 mesh standard has been integrated with multimedia tools to thoroughly test video sequences encoded using H.264 in mesh networks.

“…The IEEE 802.15.5 WPAN mesh standard [2,19,48–50] is aimed at providing traditional WPANs with mesh capability. Even though proposals described in Section 3 can achieve the same performance as IEEE 802.15.5 in some specific aspects (robustness, energy-consumption, scalability, etc.…”

“…SES mode [50] is an energy saving mechanism that, thanks to its synchronous character, facilitates the support of delay sensitive applications. In this type of applications, the goal is to guarantee a fast response of the mesh network whenever an event of interest is detected, as well as to ensure a strict delay in the delivery of information at the destination.…”

“…This restricts the knowledge of its real feasibility on large-scale topologies formed by resource-constrained devices. However, up to date the IEEE 802.15.5 standard offers ASES and SES, which have been evaluated in works [2] and [50], respectively, with promising results for WMSN. In particular, the research in [2] offers a performance evaluation in terms of energy-efficiency of ASES.…”

Finding a complete mesh-based solution for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs) is still an open issue. To cope with this concern, different competing approaches have emerged in the Wireless Mesh Sensor Networks (WMSNs) field in the last few years. They are usually supported by the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, the most commonly adopted LR-WPAN recommendation for point-to-point topologies. In this work, we review the most relevant and up-to-date WMSN solutions that extend the IEEE 802.15.4 standard to multi-hop mesh networks. To conduct this review, we start by identifying the most significant WMSN requirements (i.e., interoperability, robustness, scalability, mobility or energy-efficiency) that reveal the benefits and shortcomings of each proposal. Then, we re-examine thoroughly the group of proposals following different design guidelines which are usually considered by end-users and developers. Among all of the approaches reviewed, we highlight the IEEE 802.15.5 standard, a recent recommendation that, in its LR-WPAN version, fully satisfies the greatest number of WMSN requirements. As a result, IEEE 802.15.5 can be an appropriate solution for a wide-range of applications, unlike the majority of the remaining solutions reviewed, which are usually designed to solve particular problems, for instance in the home, building and industrial sectors. In this sense, a description of IEEE 802.15.5 is also included, paying special attention to its efficient energy-saving mechanisms. Finally, possible improvements of this recommendation are pointed out in order to offer hints for future research.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are an emerging field of engineering with various applications. The motivation is due to the low power and small size sensor nodes used in the network. It has started to emerge as the next generation wireless standard for Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN). The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is adopted as a communication protocol for LR-WPAN which supports low data rate, less power consumption and short transmission distance. IEEE 802.15.4 is the basis for the Zigbee enabled WSNs. IEEE and ZigBee alliance have joined hands to develop a complete specification of protocol stack for 802.15.4. The Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism provided by IEEE 802.15.4 standard allocates specific time slots to all nodes in the network and makes communication more consistent. This consistency makes the network to enhance their performance. In this paper, the performance analysis of GTS mechanism enabled IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks using various routing protocols is done by using QualNet. Performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, delay and packets dropped of IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks are analysed using Location Aided Routing (LAR) protocol. Then the performance metrics are then compared with that of DYnamic MANET On-Demand (DYMO) routing protocol.
