Based on the size of networks load,this paper proposed an energy-efficient MAC protocol (EC-MAC) for medium-load in wireless sensor networks.The EC-MAC adopted probability (p),TDMA and reducing the idle period for energy-sa-ving.The simulation results show that the EC-MAC performs better than the conventional TDMA protocol and bit-map-assisted (BMA) protocol in channel utilization and prolongs the lifetime of the networks.
