Abstract
A Mobile Sensor Network is a geographically distributed network which owes its name to the presence of mobile sink or sensor nodes within the network. In this paper we will present and discuss the energy-efficient contention-based and scheduled based medium access control (MAC) protocols for mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Most of the MAC protocols such as T-MAC , D-MAC, and the more commonly utilized SMAC proposed for wireless sensor networks assume sensors to be stationary after deployment, which usually provide very bad network performance in scenarios involving mobile sensors.
