Hypothesis
Can a hybrid protocol combining LoRa and wireless sensor networks improve the transmission of scalar data and images?
Conclusion
The proposed hybrid multimedia transmission protocol achieved a high image transfer rate of approximately 96% without packet loss and a transfer time of about 0.3 seconds for a 24 KB image.
Supporting Evidence
- The protocol achieved an image transfer rate of approximately 96% without packet loss.
- It transmitted a 24 KB image in about 0.3 seconds.
- The hybrid approach eliminated control message overhead and allowed uninterrupted scalar data transmission.
Takeaway
This study created a new way to send both data and images quickly and reliably using two different types of networks working together.
Methodology
The study used a hybrid protocol that combines LoRa networks for scalar data transmission and wireless sensor networks for image transmission, evaluated through experiments in a university building.
Limitations
The study did not address the performance of the protocol in environments with high interference or varying distances beyond the tested range.
