Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been widely used in many important areas. MAC protocols have a significant effect on the function of WSN. This paper introduced various important MAC protocols, analyzed the fundamental mechanism of each MAC protocol in details, and compared the characteristics and performances of each MAC protocol. Finally, the future research strategies and trends of MAC protocols in WSN are summarized.
