Design of a Wireless Sensor Network Platform for Real-Time Multimedia Communication

The frame formats of wireless packets for real-time burst multimedia communications are analyzed and designed at first. Then we theoretically study the network management and transmission protocol in detail. We also design and analyze a clock synchronization method for multimedia communications. At last we set up a wireless sensor network platform for real-time audio communications. This platform is a low power, high performance and low cost system. It suggests possible applications to Internet of Things, smart home, virtual environment, etc.
