a carrier sense multiple access
with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) based
MaC protocol, called nanoMaC, suitable for
low bit-rate, low-power wireless devices with
high efficiency
X-MaC, a low power MaC
protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Standard
MaC protocols developed for duty-cycled WSNs such as
BMaC, which is the default MaC protocol for TinyOS, employ
an extended preamble and preamble sampling.
