Z-MAC: a hybrid MAC for wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: Z-MAC is a hybrid MAC protocol for wireless sensor networks that combines the strengths of TDMA and CSMA while offsetting their weaknesses and achieves high channel utilization under high contention and reduces collision among two-hop neighbors at a low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
QoS-aware MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks: A survey
TL;DR: This survey observes that instead of providing deterministic QoS guarantees, majority of the protocols follow a service differentiation approach by classifying the data packets according to their type (or classes) and packets from different classes are treated according totheir requirements by tuning the associated network parameters at the MAC layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
TreeMAC: Localized TDMA MAC protocol for real-time high-data-rate sensor networks
TL;DR: The experiments on a 24 node test bed demonstrate that TreeMAC protocol significantly improves network throughput and energy efficiency, by comparing to the TinyOS's default CSMA MAC protocol and a recent TDMAMAC protocol Funneling-MAC.

Heartbeat driven medium access control for body sensor networks
Huaming Li,Jindong Tan +1 more
TL;DR: H-medium-access control (MAC) aims to improve BSNs energy efficiency by exploiting heartbeat rhythm information, instead of using periodic synchronization beacons, to perform time synchronization.

A Lightweight Collaborative Fault Tolerant Target Localization System for Wireless Sensor Networks
TL;DR: A lightweight acoustic target localization system for wireless sensor networks based on time difference of arrival (TDOA) which provided a reliable communication platform where high channel contention was lowered while maintaining high throughput and Errors were detected and eliminated hence acquiring a fault tolerant operation.

Medium access protocol (MAC) design for wireless multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks
TL;DR: The contributions, named OSTR and S-OSTR, address the shortcomings of the medium access control protocol design in the challenging environment of wireless multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks, respectively and present good potentials to support QoS requirements, to provide energy-efficiency, to ensure fair medium access, to accommodate network topology changes and finally, to enhance robustness against scalability.
Dissertation
A proposed energy efficient medium access control protocol for wireless sensor networks
TL;DR: This dissertation attempts to design, a hybrid Energy-Efficient MAC (EEMAC) protocol to address the energy issues that are related to WSN nodes, which aims to reduce idle listening times as well as lowering the latency time thus reducing the energy consumption.
