The present work is to evaluate energy consumption in wireless sensor networks for multi-layer medium access control (ML-MAC) scheme where the delay times, i.e., packet transmission delay, maximum response time delay, clock-drift delay, sleep delay and queuing delay are considered.Sensor nodes in ML-MAC algorithm have very short listening time than sensor-MAC (S-MAC) which would minimize the energy.The number of collisions where two or more nodes try to send at the same time is reduced in ML-MAC.Simulation results of performance of ML-MAC compared with ML-MAC considering the delay time and S-MAC.
