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.
