Arvind Kakria, Trilok Chand Aseri . A Survey on Asynchronous MAC protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 108, 9 ( December 2014), 19-22. DOI=10.5120/18940-9656
Wireless Sensor network (WSN) plays an important role in applications like surveillance, agriculture monitoring, health monitoring, industrial automation etc. Large number of low cost sensor nodes are distributed that can communicate with each other. WSN MAC protocols can be classified in to Synchronous, Asynchronous, Multiple channels and Frame based [2]. Our paper focuses on the latest progresses in Asynchronous MAC protocols
