Yet these miniatures suffer from constrained resources in terms of computation capabilities and energy resources. Limited energy resource in these nodes demands an efficient consumption of that resource either by developing the modules itself or by providing an efficient communication protocols. This paper presents a comprehensive summarization and a comparative study of the available MAC protocols proposed for Wireless Sensor Networks showing their capabilities and efficiency in terms of energy consumption and delay guarantee.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {3}, number = {2}, year = {2009}, pages = {332 - 336}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12628}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/26}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 26, 2009}, }
