Abstract
Maintaining network stability and extending network lifetime to cope with breaking links and topology changes remain nowadays a unsolved issues in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), which aim to ensure flow delivery while guaranteeing QoS requirements, particularly, during data transmission phase. Therefore, in this paper, we jointly consider multipath transmission, load balancing and fault tolerance, to enhance the reliability of transmitted data. We propose a Dynamic Curative Mechanism for Geographic Routing in WMSNs. Theoricals results and those obtained from simulation study demonstrate the validity and efficiency of our proposed mechanism, and indicate that it is highly advised for multimedia transmission and network stability.
