            Abstract : 
We propose a new MAC which promises deterministic packet transmission delay and highly reliable communication in a convergecast network. Our MAC provides a higher communication success ratio in both line of sight and non line of sight environment. We compared the performance of our MAC to contention based MAC using CSMA/CA.
