Abstract: Due to advancement in the technology, Wireless sensor networks proves to be most promising technology for many application areas where the continuous real-time monitoring and sensing of various process parameters are the key objectives. But the low energy poses a great design challenge for WSN. Many energy-efficient solutions have been proposed by the researchers. Energy-efficient medium access control protocol is one of the solutions. This paper studies different MAC protocols such as TDMA, BMA and S-MAC. We analyze the energy models of these protocols and their performance of energy consumption is simulated with an NS-2 network simulator.
