Wireless sensor networks have recently attracted much attention from research. This project reviews the medium access control (MAC), which is a capable technology in wireless sensor networks called SMAC (Sensor-MAC). MAC protocols control how sensors reach a shared communication channel to communicate with neighbors in small area coverage. SMAC sets the protocol nodes to sleep during the transmission of other nodes. During this large amount of time waste in the data communication process, the neighbor node has to wait till the nodes get started. Also, many packets are lost when all the nodes send the data packet simultaneously to a single node and this leads to data loss or corrupt data. In wireless sensor network the efficient use of energy leads to enhance the network lifetime. Idle listening, collision, control overhead and over hearing are the main reasons of energy waste in SMAC protocols. Thus, to conserve energy and enhance network lifetime we propose a new contention-based Energy Efficient SMAC protocol called EE-SMAC for wireless sensor networks.
