This report explores the possibilities of development of new Medium Access Control( MAC) schemes to ensure a more efficient communication among several nodes. Existing MAC protocols in the context of wireless transmission were analyzed and consequently, two Slotted Aloha schemes have been implemented and tested on a few nodes based on present protocols. The current waveforms of those nodes and LEDs on SmartRF Evaluation Board were observed, as the results indicate, both schemes have improved the channel utilization with simplicity. Further experiments are to be carried out to evaluate the performance of above-mentioned schemes in the event of heavy traffic.
