Energy Efficient Multimedia Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks using Enhanced Adaptive Transmission Control Algorithm and Measurement Techniques

Abstract

Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) face challenges such as high energy consumption, latency, and ensuring secure data transmission, especially for real-time multimedia applications. To address these issues, this study proposes the enhanced adaptive transmission control algorithm (EATCA), which integrates a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) model and chaos-based lightweight cryptography. EATCA optimizes energy consumption, reduces latency, and improves data security through the use of adaptive clustering and predictive transmission techniques. The algorithm uses meta-heuristic optimization for cluster head selection and fuzzy logic for route prioritization to ensure efficient data transmission. A chaos-based encryption scheme ensures data confidentiality with minimal computational overhead. The simulation results show that EATCA achieves 43.53 % lower energy consumption compared to traditional low energy adaptive cluster hierarchy (LEACH) protocols, a 96 % packet delivery ratio (PDR), and a 42 ms latency, making it suitable for time-sensitive multimedia applications. The system also achieves an 85 % compression ratio while maintaining security overhead as low as 7 %. These results make EATCA a reliable and energy-efficient solution for optimizing WMSNs and pave the way for scalable and secure network implementations.
