Survey of MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
Syed Nakhshab Hussain · Transylvanian Review · 2017
sensing devices are looking for researchers to build up such an environment where energy consumption matters. This consumption have an impact in such an environments which are targeted, disastrous and emerging a setup. The design of MAC layer for sensor nodes also have been represented with diagram for better view of people. Up till now, all the protocols developed are energy efficient but up to some extent. An ideal protocol is a need of sensor world today, therefore, the features of ideal mac protocol for wireless sensor networks have been provided. We’ve represented some energy efficient protocols which are very effective regarding energy conservation. At the end of the paper, discussion about these protocols has also been provided to make them adaptive. Security of these nodes also has been mentioned to provide a new research area for further research in this paper.
