ABSTRACT
The paper analyzes the effect of time slots on the correctness of packet delivery for selected Media Access Control protocols of WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) like B-MAC, X-MAC, and L-MAC. In the study, reliability, and power consumption were used as indicators of the quality of the protocol variant. The length of the time slot was shown to affect the consumption of energy resources of the nodes. For all network sizes considered, it was shown that the best results were achieved by the LMAC protocol, which also proved to be the most energy-efficient with a low ratio of energy resource consumption.
