“…In the data phase, sensors switch to their respective channels negotiated in the previous control phase to exchange data in parallel. An example is given by MMSN [9] for a contention based MAC protocol and by Y-MAC [14] for a scheduled access MAC protocol. The crucial asset of this technique is to solve the deafness and hidden node problems.…”

Abstract-Micaz motes can communicate on multiple frequencies as specified in the 802.15.4 standard. This reality has given birth to multichannel communication paradigm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Obviously, multichannel communication mitigates interferences, jamming and congestion, whereas it brings also challenging issues. Thus, in this paper, we are motivated to draw a picture of multichannel assignment protocols in WSNs. After having identified the reasons of resorting to multichannel communication paradigm in WSNs and the specific issues that should be tackled, we propose a classification of multichannel assignment protocols, pointing out different channel selection policies, channel assignment methods and channel coordination techniques. We conclude by a recapitulative table including many examples of existing multichannel protocols designed for WSNs.

Abstract-Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are endearing to researchers in view of their outspread application capacity in the multifarious domain such as object detection and tracking, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, smart home, and tactical system [1]. Typically, a WSN comprises of enormous low-cost and small sensor nodes which are deployed in an intended region to acquire data of interest. However, poor sensing range of a node evolves compact network, hence developing a dynamic Medium-Access Control (MAC) protocol is predominant. So far, a great number of MAC protocols have been presented with different ideas for wireless sensor networks. Initially, researchers' prime consideration was energy efficiency. In the recent past, researchers have given priority to design a protocol that supports multitasking while being adaptive to traffic loads. In this paper, an attempt has been made to survey the numerous Primitive and Schedule-Based MAC protocols. At first, the properties of wireless sensors paramount for the design of MAC layer protocols are summarized. Then, the Primitive MAC protocols and Scheduled-Based MAC protocols are discussed, and finally, their advantages and disadvantages are emphasized. Keywords-Energy Efficiency, FDMA, Medium Access Control (MAC), TDMA, Wireless Sensor Networks.I. INTRODUCTION TO WSNs MAC Great progress in technology has emanated the evolution of small, inexpensive sensor nodes which are embedded with various sections like sensing, processing, and communication. The vast application scope has been encouraged by sensor nodes through wireless sensor networking [2][3]. The pivotal aspect of WSN protocol design is to enhance energy efficiency, considering the sensor nodes which are required to work independently with smaller batteries while boosting sensor node lifespan. Since each node comprises of a transceiver that communicates with other nodes, battery span plays an important role in node health. Since the WSN are expected to work efficiently with minimal human intervention, it is highly desired to design a protocol that produces very little bottlenecks. Medium access control is a subsection of the data link layer which is the most widely considered layer for the accurate functioning of any communication system. The fundamental work of MAC is to organize transmission and reception over a medium common to various nodes. Since WSN comprises of a large number of nodes communicating with one another, it is essential to have an accurate MAC protocol to increase the WSN efficiency. This has caused a widespread research on designing an efficient MAC protocol [4]. An energy efficient MAC protocol enhances the lifespan of a sensor network to a larger extent by regulating the transceiver, which is a crucial energy consuming component. In addition, it mitigates the collisions and enhances the throughput. There have been a prodigious number of investigations on the design and implementation of MAC protocols in WSNs. Therefore, it is essential to conduct an effective survey on WS...

“…It is a slotted CSMA protocol where nodes contend for the medium before they transmit at the beginning of timeslot. Y-MAC [15] is another recently proposed multichannel MAC protocol designed for WSNs that is based on scheduled access. Timeslots are assigned to receivers instead of senders and potential senders for the same receiver contend for medium at the beginning of each timeslot.…”

Lately, wireless sensor network applications have emerged for provision of commercial services to end users. This results in commercial deployment of sensor networks which is as an important research area due to a number of design and quality of service challenges. An important technical challenge for sensor service provision to end users is managing dynamic network conditions such as unreliability of sensor nodes and network links which results in frequent service outages. This research is aimed at addressing this challenge. It presents a novel architecture which utilizes the availability of multiple sensor networks under different administrative domains, deployed in an area such that maximum network connectivity and high service availability are ensured. The architecture incorporates modifications and enhancements at the medium access control and the routing layers of sensor nodes for the collaborative operation of sensor networks. The design is based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard and ad hoc on demand distance vector routing protocol. The proposed architecture is mathematically analyzed with regards to overheads associated with the design such as routing and communication, and techniques to minimize these overheads are recommended. Through simulations using OMNET++, we show that the proposed architecture effectively provides connectivity for disconnected nodes achieving an overall increase in throughput for all the cooperating networks.
