Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has gained enormous popularity since it is a base of an Internet of Things and applied in many areas of application. However, this network suffers an energy constraint issue which has to be tackled. Medium Access Control (MAC) manages the radio communication of transmitter and receiver, which is the highest energy consumed of sensor nodes. Therefore, many researchers have been proposed new MAC protocols to overcome this limitation. This paper explores and compares several MAC protocols for clustering WSN. Clustering network has a different characteristic since it classifies nodes as Cluster Heads and Cluster Members. This leads to a unique approach in developing MAC to enhance the network's performance.

“…In wireless sensor networks, these factors, mainly include energy efficiency, scalability, adaptability, channel efficiency, delays, throughput and fair sharing. But energy efficiency is more valuable [9]. Considering that the main goal of media access control protocols is the reduction of energy consumption, so the most important step is to identify the cases that lead to energy dissipation.…”

This work presents a design for nuclear radiation detection and monitoring system in a nuclear facility based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Energy efficiency is a critical factor in designing WSNs where a sensor node is small with limited power resources. A reliable WSN must be energy efficient to maximize its lifetime. Media access control (MAC) protocols are essential for the energy-efficiency objectives of WSNs as they directly control the most energy consuming part of a sensor node communications over the shared medium. Different MAC protocols for WSNs are presented. This search will explain the important role of MAC protocols for energy saving and why currently conventional protocols don't fit for the actual requirements. A comparison between two MAC protocols, IEEE802.11 and sensor MAC (SMAC), is presented using network simulator-NS-2.35. Then their performance will be compared to each other. SMAC outperforms IEEE802.11 in total energy conservation by approximately 21%. Power saving is the main aim in the design of nuclear radiation WSN to guarantee more life time for the network.
