Adebayo Segun, Akinwunmi A.o, Ogunti E.o . A Survey of Medium Access Control Protocols in Wireless Sensor Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 116, 22 ( April 2015), 1-8. DOI=10.5120/20465-9980
With the recent technological advances of wireless sensor network (WSN) and the nature of wireless sensor networks which is the power constraint, researchers face new challenges related to the design of algorithms and protocols. This work tries to survey the research that has been conducted on a number of levels to design and assess the deployment of wireless sensor networks. It highlights the current state of the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol in WSN with a view to advance the research in the field.
