Comparative Analysis for EM-MAC, PW-MAC and EEC-MAC Protocols in WSN under Airborne Networks

The main focus of this paper is to do comparative analysis for MAC protocols with airborne applications. Efficient Multichannel MAC and predictive wakeup MAC protocols are most effective protocols at terrestrial level networks but it is very interesting to see the behaviour of MAC protocols on airborne applications where mobility is very high and very less time for communication setup. We have done comparison of these protocols with Energy Efficient Cooperative Duty Cycle MAC protocols which is very suitable in airborne applications by using OPNET simulator.
