Optimizing Multimedia IoT Gateway for Enhanced Performance, Energy Efficiency, and Multimedia Quality

Multimedia Internet-of-Thing (IoT) applications generate a significant amount of traffic due to the nature of multimedia data, which includes audio, video, images, and other high-bandwidth content. These applications require the transmission of large data packets in real-time or near real-time, resulting in increased network traffic and bandwidth requirements. Hence in this work, an IoT gateway optimization that optimizes the RTP, RTCP, and RTSP protocols has been presented. The performance of a proposed model is compared to the BBP model in terms of throughput, energy consumption, and multimedia loss in IoT devices for multimedia applications. The results indicate that the proposed model achieves better throughput and demonstrates higher average performance across different device numbers, enabling faster and more reliable transmission of multimedia data. Additionally, the proposed model outperforms the BBP model in terms of energy consumption, resulting in reduced energy usage even with an increasing number of devices. Moreover, the proposed model significantly reduces multimedia loss, ensuring a seamless and high-performance multimedia experience. These findings highlight the importance of optimizing RTP, RTCP, and RTSP in IoT devices for improved performance, energy efficiency, and enhanced multimedia quality.
