MAC protocol controls the activity of wireless radio of sensor nodes directly so that it is the major consumer of sensor energy and the energy efficiency of MAC protocol makes a strong impact on the network performance. TDMA-based MAC protocol is inherently collision-free and can rule out idle listening since nodes know when to transmit. However conventional TDMA protocol is not suitable for event-driven applications. In this paper we present ED-TDMA an event-driven TDMA protocol for wireless sensor networks. Then we conduct extensive simulations to compare it with other MAC protocols such as BMA S-MAC and LMAC. Simulation results showthat ED-TDMA performs better for event-driven application in wireless sensor networks with high-density deployment and under low traffic. 1. Introduction Like in all other shared-medium networks medium access control MAC is also a key component to ensure the successful operation of wireless sensor networks. A MAC protocol decides when competing nodes could access the shared medium and tries to ensure that no collisions occur while nodes .
