In this paper, we propose a novel multi-channel
medium access control protocol for wireless sensor
networks. Our protocol can dynamically assign
multiple channels to nodes, thereby significantly
increasing network energy efficiency, network
lifetime and data throughput as well. The
protocol requires only one transceiver per node,
but solves the multi-channel hidden terminal
problem through distributed coordinator node.
Finally we evaluate the performance of this
protocol through simulations. The performance
results show that protocol significantly increase
network energy efficiency, network lifetime and
data throughput and exhibits prominent ability to
utilize multi-channel transceiver among
neighboring nodes.
