Summary :

Wireless multimedia sensor networks tend to generate a large number of sensing data packets within a short period. A multi-channel TDMA scheme can avoid the hidden terminal problem and and has been shown to achieve higher performance than the CSMA scheme. In order to deliver large volumes of sensing data within a time limit, our scheme for minigroup multicast can improve the performance gain of the multi-channel TDMA by incorporating deflection routing which constrains any intermediate nodes from serving multiple sessions and establishes a new path detour the nodes on the existing path of multicast sessions. Through simulations, we show that, even though the deflection routing builds non-optimal paths, our scheme supports 95% packet delivery ratio and higher throughput than the legacy multicast routing protocol with CSMA-based media access control.
