Abstract

Over the past few years, a range of new Media Access Control (MAC) protocols have been proposed for use in wireless
networks. Medium access control (MAC) protocols provide a means to nodes to access the wireless medium efficiently and collision
free to the best of their ability. MAC layer protocols allow a group of users to share a communication medium in a fair, stable, and
efficient way. MAC protocols set defined rules to force distributed users/nodes to access the wireless medium in an orderly and
efficient manner. MAC layer is sub layer of Data Link Layer involves the functions and procedures necessary to transfer data
between two or more nodes of the network. It is responsible for error correction of anomalies occurring in the physical layer,
framing, physical addressing, and resolving conflicts occurring in number of nodes to access the channel.
