10357,5850,10358

Currently available Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) tools may be adapted for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). However, this requires more effort to configure and tune such tools for the requirements of current WMSN. On the other hand, many extensions for available WSN tools were developed to extend their functionalities in order to support WMSN. Although this seems to solve the problem, such extensions are usually developed as layers or plugins over the existing ones, which introduce many performance issues. In this paper, Castalia is extended to support multimedia content simulation. First, the general multimedia requirements are discussed and defined. Then, Castalia is enhanced by adding the defined requirements.
