An Adaptive Routing Architecture for IoT Multipath Video Transmission

ABSTRACT Video applications in wireless multihop Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios can benefit from multipath routing strategies to meet their often stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, the dynamics of the underlying network and video service requirements call for a multipath routing fabric that can dynamically adapt to changing conditions. In this paper, we present a wireless multipath routing architecture that is able to adapt to varying network topology conditions and video traffic characteristics by finding new paths dynamically, resulting in enhanced end user's quality of experience. Additionally, we provide an overview of the IoT wireless video application landscape and a taxonomy of the state‐of‐the‐art in route selection mechanisms for multipath routing.
