In Wireless Sensor Networks WSNs a robust and energy-efficient Medium Access Control MAC protocol is required for high energy efficiency in harsh operating conditions where node and link failures are common. This paper presents the design of a novel MAC protocol for low-power WSNs. The developed MAC protocol minimizes the energy overhead of idle time and collisions by strict frame synchronization and slot reservation. It combines a dynamic bandwidth adjustment mechanism multicluster-tree network topology and a network channel allowing rapid and low-energy neighbor discoveries. The protocol achieves high scalability by employing frequency and time division between clusters. Performance analysis shows that the MAC protocol outperforms current state-of-the-art protocols in energy efficiency and the energy overhead compared to an ideal MAC protocol is only to . The high energy efficiency is achieved in both leaf and router nodes. The models and the feasibility of the protocol were verified by simulations and with a full-scale prototype implementation. 1. Introduction Wireless Sensor Network WSN is an emerging technology which combines distributed sensing and
