Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has gained tremendous popularity in various practical applications, in which sensors are fundamentally battery-powered and significantly resource-limited. Well-designed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols can make great contribution on the performance of the networks. In this paper, we present a survey on some typical or newly proposed MAC protocols which aims at enhancing energy efficiency of the networks. The classification and beneficial characteristics of MAC protocols are discussed. Furthermore, we analyze the protocols’ performance in various fields, and point out the open research issue.
