“…Many researchers shifted their research attention to this application. Accordingly, works on reviewing MAC protocol investigated this objective such as [19]- [22]. The sampling rate and the density of multimedia sensor as parameters on multimedia data, for example, were analysed in depth with the relation of energy efficiency.…”

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has gained enormous popularity since it is a base of an Internet of Things and applied in many areas of application. However, this network suffers an energy constraint issue which has to be tackled. Medium Access Control (MAC) manages the radio communication of transmitter and receiver, which is the highest energy consumed of sensor nodes. Therefore, many researchers have been proposed new MAC protocols to overcome this limitation. This paper explores and compares several MAC protocols for clustering WSN. Clustering network has a different characteristic since it classifies nodes as Cluster Heads and Cluster Members. This leads to a unique approach in developing MAC to enhance the network's performance.

“…The design of Bluetooth requires all nodes within its piconet to be synchronized within a few microseconds. This requirement cannot be met by many wireless sensor networks as they have large network latencies due to several constraints within them [26]. With typical Bluetooth configuration, it would take around 2.4 microseconds to establish a connection.…”

Wireless sensor networks have become one of the widely deployed networking technologies in the recent times due to the capabilities and advantages of them. The applications of wireless sensor networks include many civilian and industrial applications to military applications. Due to the distributed nature of these networks, deployment in remote and open areas and many constraints in individual nodes, these networks are vulnerable to several security threats. Many security mechanisms and algorithms proposed for the implementation in the traditional networks cannot be implemented in wireless sensor networks due to the unique nature of these networks and nodes. Many active research programmes have been carried out throughout the world for making wireless sensor networks more secure and user friendly. This chapter takes an in-depth look at some of the prominent mechanisms, schemes, algorithms and protocols published in the literature.

“…Moreover, three comprehensive survey literatures 2 Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing for real-time routing [7][8][9] were published to provide the comparison in the aspects of energy efficiency and reliability. Teng and Kim [10] addressed the specific requirement of realtime MAC protocol in WSN by surveying recent wireless sensor real-time MAC protocols. However, mentioned research work focuses on network or MAC protocol, respectively, and does not provide any classification principle.…”

Generally, various traffic requirements in wireless sensor network are mostly dependent on specific application types, that is, eventdriven, continuous, and query-driven types. In these applications, real-time delivery is one of the important research challenges. However, due to harsh networking environment around a node, many researchers usually take different approach from conventional networks. In order to discuss and analyze the advantage or disadvantage of these approaches, some comprehensive survey literatures were published; however they are either out of date or compiled for communication protocols on single layer. Based on this deficiency, in this paper, we present the up-to-date research approaches and discuss the important features related to real-time communications in wireless sensor networks. As for grouping, we categorize the approaches into hard, soft, and firm real-time model. Furthermore, in all these categories, research has been focused on MAC and scheduling and routing according to research area or objective in second level. Finally, the article also suggests potential directions for future research in the field.
