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.
