Abstract
Information Technology has grown rapidly leading to challenges with communicating information with nodes at remote locations. There are many communication media, and certain varieties of wired links such as coaxial cables, where multiple nodes can all be linked to hear each other's transmissions either properly, correctly or with some non-zero probability. Generally, there are two rudimentary ways of sharing such stations or media, which can be the time-sharing, and frequency sharing. This paper tackles the rudimentary question of how such one common communication channel also called a shared medium can be distributed among the distinct nodes with maximum productivity. It analyzes wireless sensor networks and its accompanying technologies sighting their pros and cons. Focusing on time-sharing, we examine methodically two prevalent approaches used in obtaining this which are either by time division (split) multiple access (TDMA) or contention protocols of which both approaches are widely being used in today’s systems. It also shows that with proper time of selecting the likelihood exigency of Tame Division Multiple Access’s (TDMAs), utilization tends to 1/e (37%) but also tends to increase collision. To adapt the transmitted message likelihood, a format for calculation was adopted. The idea was to seek to gather to the favorable point of value. Slotted Aloha has twice the utilization of Unslotted-Aloha when the numbers of accumulated nodes grow. The Study also shows that each node will stake transmission within sprinkling fixed number of slots and this is guaranteed when using a related distribution in a finite window, but this is not the case with geometric distribution.

Protocols capture the "rules of engagement" that nodes must engage, so that they can conjointly obtain effective performance
Since each station was presumed to be active almost all of the time, the natural method of sharing is to give away the frequency range into smaller sub-ranges and allocate each subrange to a station; this is known as frequency division multiplexing, given the practical significance of these examples, and the sea change in network access that is as a result of wireless technologies, expanding strategies to share a common medium is an essential/ vital issue.[15]
Throughput: which is measured in bits/sec or packet/sec, is the amount of work that can be performed at a given time, the throughput of media access (MAC) protocol requires utilization which is measured in percentage and can be defined by dividing the throughput that a protocol achieves by the maximum rate of data that is sent on that channel
Summary
Protocols capture the "rules of engagement" that nodes must engage, so that they can conjointly obtain effective performance These sharing schemes define how multiple nodes should control their access to a distributed medium, they are classified as media access (MAC) protocols or multiple access protocols. Contention protocols are called so because the node cope with each other for the medium without organizing in anticipation a schedule that determines what node should transmit when the client should transmit, or a frequency reservation that warranties little or no disturbance/interference [1]. These contention protocols are appropriate for data system sites/networks, which are distinguished by nodes transmitting data in bursts including variable rates. This paper is aimed at discussing the general overview of MAC protocols from various perspectives
