<p>Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) are networks consisting of sensors that have limitations in terms of memory, computational power, bandwidth and battery life. Multimedia transmission using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a difficult task because certain Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees are required. These guarantees include a large quantity of bandwidth, rigorous latency requirements, improved packet delivery and lower loss ratio. The main area of research would be to investigate the process of greedy techniques that could be modified to guarantee QoS provisioning for multimedia traffic in WSNs. This could include optimization of routing decisions, dynamic allocation of resources and effective congestion management. This study introduces a framework called Epsilon Greedy Strategy based Routing Protocol (EGS-RP) for multimedia content transmission over WSN. The framework focuses on energy efficiency and QoS by using reinforcement learning to optimize rewards. These incentives are determined by a number of variables, including node residual energy, communication energy and the effectiveness of sensor type-dependent data collection. Experimental analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed routing strategy and compare it with the performance of standard energy-aware routing algorithms. The proposed EGS-RP achieves a throughput of 217 kbps, a bandwidth of 985 bps, a packet delivery ratio of 94.45% and an energy consumption of 32%.</p>
