Abstract :
Wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology that has a wide range of potential applications including environment monitoring. In this paper we present the important parameters which must be taken into account while designing MAC protocol for various wireless sensor nodes (Mica2, Mica2Dot & IMotes) based Sensor Networks.
