Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN) has a grown as an area of interest in the recent years due to availability of
various CMOS devices like camera and microphones. With this advent multimedia transmission is possible which can be enhanced by
providing the transmission with various QoS (Quality of Service) parameters. QoE (Quality of Experience) plays a vital role in WMSN
Multimedia Transmission as it is related to user perception for the application quality. Various QoE matrices like Mean Opinion
Score(MOS), Peak-signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR), Structure Similarity Metric(SSIM), Video Quality Metric(VQM) are there for video
quality measurement. The multimedia transmission contains audio, video, images and scalar data each which has a different metric for
QoE. To provide a high-data rate transmission we need an efficient QoE aware routing protocol for multimedia Transmission in WMSN.
Various Challenges and research issues are discussed in this paper.

WMSN, WSN, video transmission, QoE, multimedia
WMSN has grown as an area of interest in the recent times
with this many of real time applications of WMSN have
come to light. These applications demand the video should
be as per the QoE and the energy consumption should be
minimal. This paper presents the definition of WMSN,
reference architecture and various applications of WMSN.
This paper also discusses about the existing technical
challenges faced and the existing protocols used in WMSN
for multimedia transmission along with comparison of
protocols and various QoE metrices for WMSN.
