The Wireless sensor network (WSN) deployment areas in real time environment are often inaccessible and unreliable communication resulting in degradation of network performance. The critical issues in any WSN are QoS and energy. Post deployment, it may not always be feasible to replace the batteries in a WSN. Long hops of transmission maintaining the QoS with more energy consumption results in reduction...
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Quality of Service (QOS) plays a significant role as networks performance is dependent on QoS only. WSN is very popular because of its wide application range. WSN has limited resources such as computational power and energy constraint. Congestion is one important subject which has drawn attention of many researchers. Congestion results into reduced throughput and...

We present WISEN algorithm which is specially designed for WSN providing multiple communication architecture and mechanism to improve the Quality of service and routing performance. WISEN focuses on functions such as node synchronization, node localization for improving QoS. The design of WISEN algorithm...
We study the resource scheduling for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based on Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) technique. This work distinguishes itself from the existing work in: 1) the scheduling for a relay network, 2) the scheduling for multimedia-enabled sensor nodes taking into account diverse QoS characteristics such as delay sensitive (DS), rate sensitive (RS), best...
With rapid development of microelectronics and low-cost cost multimedia hardware, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have started to evolve into Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs), where the emphasis is given on acquisition, processing and transmission of multimedia content through WSN. While the idea of multimedia sensor networks has been existing for some time, very little research is performed...
The Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) are confronted with two basic constraints that are the strong constraint of the energy consumption, and the strong constraint of the traffic performance (Delay, Throughput, etc.). To try to satisfy these two constraints, the IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) has been used at the MAC layer in the WMSN. The EDCA access method maintains...
Energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSN) was always a basic constraint to respect. But, with the appearance of Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN), another basic constraint comes from added, which is the traffic performance in terms of delay, throughput, and Packet Delivery Rate (PDR). The choice of channel access method can help us to better respond the two constraints in WMSN...
There has been much interest recently in improving power saving and cost efficiency by monitoring the operation status of various facilities over networks. Wireless networks, especially cellular networks, are advantageous in terms of their mobility, coverage, and scalability. However, a weak point is their low reliability due to rapid changes in available bandwidth. We fabricated a prototype of a...

According to statistical feature of DL/T645 protocol and requirement of meter data transmission quality, an IEEE802.15.4 QoS (quality of service) communication network, is presented in this paper.
Network Coding is a new field that aims at, notably increasing the throughput in a network. ROCX [1] is an algorithm that makes routing with the awareness of network coding. However, its major limitation is that it does not take into account the bandwidth limitation and the interference impact. If the interference is not considered in a wireless network, a flow requiring a certain bandwidth might...
The sensor network consist of multi-purpose of node in a scarred networks area. The modern motes that have multiple sensor board on a single radio board, which have different type of transmission rate, required bandwidth, packet loss, delay demands etc. In this paper we proposed Heterogeneous Congestion Control Protocol(HCCP), which controls the efficient rate for heterogeneous traffic. This protocol...
In wireless sensor networks, centralized data collection at sink leads to funneling effect which causes traffic intensity. This phenomenon results in significant packet collision, congestion, and loss. Researcher has proposed a localized, sink-oriented funneling-MAC to mitigate this funneling effect. Actually, this MAC protocol contributes to reduce this problem. However, funneling-MAC is difficult...
Lightweight Congestion Aware Reliable Transport protocol (LCART) is based on cross-layering the prevalent or reciprocal functionalities of Transport, MAC and Wireless-Physical layers in order to achieve energy efficiency and meeting QoS objectives of heterogeneous WSN1 including multimedia. LCART intelligently overcomes network congestion by the simultaneous use of Packet Service Time, Packet Inter...
IEEE 802.15.4 is considered as the de facto standard for wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, the increased probability of collision at heavy load caused by the inherent behavior of CSMA/CA degrades the performance of WSN in terms of throughput and energy consumption. This led some to propose other MAC layer solutions to tackle these problems. Most of them are TDMA-based which provides deterministic...
It is difficult to provide QoS guarantees for streams in wireless network based on IEEE802.11 DCF because of limited bandwidth. Taking CBR traffic as example, we studied the traffic performance with different parameters in this paper. The results show that for an overloaded network, the traffic with longer packet size has greater throughput. Since the MAC layer performs the same competitive algorithm,...

However, CWN have not established effective transmission methods considered with QoS or upper layers protocols yet. In this paper, selective transmission control method in cognitive wireless...
Wireless networks have grown their popularity over the past number of years. Usually wireless networks operate according to IEEE 802.11, which specifies protocols of physical and MAC layers. A number of different studies have been conducted on performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. However, questions of QoS control in such networks have not received sufficient attention from the research community...
