Performance and analysis of MAC protocols based on application

Wireless Sensor Network is one of the rapid emerging technology in recent decades. It covers large application area as civilian and military. Wireless Sensor Network primary consists of sensor nodes having low-power, low cost and multifunctional activities to collaborates and communicates via wireless medium. The deployment of sensor nodes are adhoc in nature, so sensor nodes are auto organize themselves in such a way to communicate with each other. The characteristics make more challenging areas on WSNs. This paper gives overview about characteristics of WSNs, Architecture and Contention Based MAC protocol. The paper present analysis of various protocol based on performance.
