Leach: Effect of round length on transferring images using the DWT compression technique

Abstract

The advancements in electronics has permitted the production of small devices called sensors. These nodes can capture different types of data like images. The network that performs this role is called WMSN (wireless multimedia sensor network). In this kind of networks, a routing protocol is very important. One of the key features of Leach is the efficient management of energy. However, when it comes to send images, we have to verify the energy efficiency. In fact, we use transferring images using WMSN like agriculture and surveillance among others in multiple areas. In this paper, we are going to simulate this protocol using Omnet++/Castalia. We are also going to see the effect of round length on energy consumption and the number of transferring images.
