Abstract EN
Energy efficiency is a primary requirement in a wireless sensor network (WSN).
This is a major design parameter in medium access control (MAC) protocols for WSN due to limited resources in sensor nodes that include low battery power.
Hence a proposed MAC protocol must be energy efficient by reducing the potential energy wastes.
Developing such a MAC protocol has been a hot research area in WSN.
To avoid wasting the limited energy, various energy saving mechanisms are proposed for MAC protocols.
These mechanisms have a common design objective—to save energy to maximize the network lifetime.
This paper presents a survey on various energy saving mechanisms that are proposed for MAC protocols in WSN.
We present a detailed discussion of these mechanisms and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.
We also discuss MAC protocols that use these energy saving mechanisms.
