An Optimized Node-Disjoint Multi-path Routing Protocol for Multimedia Data Transmission over Wireless Sensor Networks

Recently, the focus of sensor network paradigm is changing for delivering multimedia contents such as audio and video streams and still images. However, most existing routing protocols are not very practical for transmitting multimedia contents in resource constrained sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an optimized nod-disjoint multi-path routing scheme resulting in throughput enhancement and load balancing.
