This paper reviews medium access control (MAC), an enabling technology
in wireless sensor networks. MAC protocols control how sensors access
a shared radio channel to communicate with neighbors. Battery-powered
wireless sensor networks with many nearby nodes challenge traditional
MAC design. This paper discusses design trade-offs with an emphasis on
energy efficiency. It classifies existing MAC protocols and compares
their advantages and disadvantages in the context of sensor
networks. Finally, it presents S-MAC as an example of a MAC protocol
designed specifically for a sensor network, illustrating one
combination of design trade-offs.
