Summary :

In this letter, we propose a channel-aware scheduling algorithm to support real-time applications in wireless multimedia sensor networks. Multimedia streams are sensitive to real-time delivery but can tolerate some packet loss. Therefore, this specific application is modelled as an (m,k)-firm stream. To satisfy the real-time requirements, a scheduling scheme that provides packet partitioning and real-time delivery is proposed. Packet partitioning combines static assignment and dynamic adjustment while considering the channel state. The scheme is designed to minimize the number of mandatory packets delivered in a bad channel state to avoid dynamic failure. In addition, automatic repeat request technology is introduced to enhance the reliability of real-time delivery. Simulations and analyses show that the proposed scheme has a good ability to withstand a bad channel status.
