Wireless sensor networks can be used to deploy various applications to reflect the circumstance of environment. Video sensors used in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) enhance such applications with multimedia data, but with specific characteristics requirement for the network. The aim of this work is to provide reliable data transport with multipath routing and load balancing congestion control mechanism in WMSN. In this paper, we proposed a Minimum Hop Disjoint Multipath routing algorithm with Time Slice load balancing congestion control scheme (MHDMwTS) to ensure reliability in WMSN. The simulation shows MHDMwTS is more reliable than basic routing schemes for transport multimedia data.
