This paper deals with multi-channel Media Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We first give an overview of multi-channel communication in WSNs and propose the classification of existing multi-channel MAC protocols for WSNs. Then, we describe briefly three representative protocols by stating their essential behavior and emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses.
