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or disadvantage of these approaches, some comprehensive survey literatures were published; however they are either out of date or compiled for communication protocols on single layer.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.

As wireless sensor network becomes pervasive, new requirements have been continuously emerged. However, the most of research efforts in wireless sensor network are focused on energy problem since the nodes are usually battery-powered. Among these requirements, real-time communication is one of the big research challenges in wireless sensor networks because most of query messages carry time information. To meet this requirement, recently several real-time medium access control protocols have been proposed for wireless sensor networks in the literature because waiting time to share medium on each node is one of main source for end-to-end delay. In this paper, we first introduce the specific requirement of wireless sensor real-time MAC protocol. Then, a collection of recent wireless sensor real-time MAC protocols are surveyed, classified, and described emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages whenever possible. Finally we present a discussion about the challenges of current wireless sensor real-time MAC protocols in the literature, and show the conclusion in the end.

“…It assures high throughput even in high loads. Dual-Mode MAC Protocol: (Watteyne et al, 2006) supports HRT which adapts a linear network with identical nodes. In order to achieve a collision-free communication, it uses TDMA for global synchronization and a mixed FDMA-TMA scheme is adopted.…”
