Abstract

Wireless sensor network has revolutionized the field of science and technology due to its ubiquitous deployment attribute. The unprecedented growth in WSNs is credited to its miniature size and cost-effectiveness. However, one of the limiting factors of sensor nodes is that they are battery-operated and providing longevity to the network is one of the significant concerns while designing WSNs. The medium access control (MAC) protocol is seen as an important part as it handles the coordination and communication amongst the sensor nodes by controlling access to the channel. Moreover, its design can have a considerable effect on several parameters related to the sensor nodes such as battery consumption, collision, network lifetime and latency. Therefore, it becomes of great importance to design the MAC protocol as per the requirements of network in order to enhance the lifetime of the network. In this paper, we discuss and categorize various MAC protocols on the basis of their design for different areas of application.
