“…G-MAC (Gateway MAC) [32] uses a similar approach as above protocols; it defines a nodes acting as a gateway for a certain time, and then rotates nodes so as to balance the load among them. The TDMA frame of G-MAC contains three periods: the collection period, the traffic indication period and the distribution period.…”

Abstract-The wireless medium being inherently broadcast in nature and hence prone to interferences requires highly optimized medium access control (MAC) protocols. This holds particularly true for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consisting of a large amount of miniaturized battery-powered wireless networked sensors required to operate for years with no human intervention. There has hence been a growing interest on understanding and optimizing WSN MAC protocols in recent years, where the limited and constrained resources have driven research towards primarily reducing energy consumption of MAC functionalities.In this paper, we provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art study in which we thoroughly expose the prime focus of WSN MAC protocols, design guidelines that inspired these protocols, as well as drawbacks and shortcomings of the existing solutions and how existing and emerging technology will influence future solutions.In contrast to previous surveys that focused on classifying MAC protocols according to the technique being used, we provide a thematic taxonomy in which protocols are classified according to the problems dealt with. We also show that a key element in selecting a suitable solution for a particular situation is mainly driven by the statistical properties of the generated traffic.

“…Concentrating the transmissions into a smaller active period reduces idle listening, but it also increases the probability of collisions. Receiving and discarding messages intended for other nodes, or message overhearing, is commonly employed in non-energy constrained networks to increase throughput and high delay [5].…”

Abstract-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are endearing to researchers in view of their outspread application capacity in the multifarious domain such as object detection and tracking, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, smart home, and tactical system [1]. Typically, a WSN comprises of enormous low-cost and small sensor nodes which are deployed in an intended region to acquire data of interest. However, poor sensing range of a node evolves compact network, hence developing a dynamic Medium-Access Control (MAC) protocol is predominant. So far, a great number of MAC protocols have been presented with different ideas for wireless sensor networks. Initially, researchers' prime consideration was energy efficiency. In the recent past, researchers have given priority to design a protocol that supports multitasking while being adaptive to traffic loads. In this paper, an attempt has been made to survey the numerous Primitive and Schedule-Based MAC protocols. At first, the properties of wireless sensors paramount for the design of MAC layer protocols are summarized. Then, the Primitive MAC protocols and Scheduled-Based MAC protocols are discussed, and finally, their advantages and disadvantages are emphasized. Keywords-Energy Efficiency, FDMA, Medium Access Control (MAC), TDMA, Wireless Sensor Networks.I. INTRODUCTION TO WSNs MAC Great progress in technology has emanated the evolution of small, inexpensive sensor nodes which are embedded with various sections like sensing, processing, and communication. The vast application scope has been encouraged by sensor nodes through wireless sensor networking [2][3]. The pivotal aspect of WSN protocol design is to enhance energy efficiency, considering the sensor nodes which are required to work independently with smaller batteries while boosting sensor node lifespan. Since each node comprises of a transceiver that communicates with other nodes, battery span plays an important role in node health. Since the WSN are expected to work efficiently with minimal human intervention, it is highly desired to design a protocol that produces very little bottlenecks. Medium access control is a subsection of the data link layer which is the most widely considered layer for the accurate functioning of any communication system. The fundamental work of MAC is to organize transmission and reception over a medium common to various nodes. Since WSN comprises of a large number of nodes communicating with one another, it is essential to have an accurate MAC protocol to increase the WSN efficiency. This has caused a widespread research on designing an efficient MAC protocol [4]. An energy efficient MAC protocol enhances the lifespan of a sensor network to a larger extent by regulating the transceiver, which is a crucial energy consuming component. In addition, it mitigates the collisions and enhances the throughput. There have been a prodigious number of investigations on the design and implementation of MAC protocols in WSNs. Therefore, it is essential to conduct an effective survey on WS...
