Abstract
MAC (Medium Access Control) layer protocol consists of a set of rules, so that a node knows when to transmit messages and when not to. The message has a lifetime and during this lifetime the packet is transmitted and retransmitted. Afterwards, the message is discarded [1, 2]. The MAC protocol is used to combat the collision problem at the receiver. The design of the protocol has the goal to achieve high reception reliability and low latency [1].
