Question
Asked 20 June 2013

Is anyone working with Wireless Sensor networks which support the Multimedia Traffic?

Especially for indoor applications, the most used sensor implement in their architecture the ZigBee standard which have very poor bandwidth and rate (250kb/s). This rate isn't useful for the multimedia traffic and communication in WSN. Due to this, is there anyone who worked with the Multimedia traffic in WSN?
