Energy optimized and secured video transmission in wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Rapid development in the area of communications through wireless sensor networks attracted more attention of scientists and researchers over the last few years. Wireless sensor networks have proved to be an equally valuable and novel platform for wireless communication and other areas of applications. The potential of wireless sensor networks can be proportionately deployed in the wider area of applications such as defense equipments, ecological and habitat monitoring, industrial process control, home automation, weather forecasting, health care system, traffic control, civilian applications etc. Wireless sensors are small size devices equipped with radio transceivers and low power batteries. Typical features of sensor node include power, storage and low cost computational capability hardware. A wireless sensor network is intended to sense, collect, processes and transmit event specific information in order to accomplish a distributed domain task. Moreover, wireless sensor networks are the type of networks where the resultant is fully based on the sensor nodes cooperation. newline
