Node energy in wireless video sensor networks( WVSNs) is limited,in order to reduce energy consumption and prolong network lifetime,a novel communication protocol based on correlation-aware in WVSNs is proposed. Firstly,current typical routing protocol of WVSNs is analyzed to find the defects; secondly,cluster head node selection,cluster formation,and node sensing direction adjustment,communication within and inter cluster are improved and optimized; finally,simulation and comparison test are carried out on Matlab 2012 platform.Simulation res...
