Overview:

Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) are useful in environment where fixed network infrastructure is unavailable. To function normally, MANETs demand an efficient and distributed Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. However, characteristics of MANETs such as radio link vulnerability, mobility, limited power pose great challenges on MAC design. This paper surveys the recent advances in MAC design for MANETs. The paper first identifies the challenges that are facing MAC in MANETs, and then discusses the proposed MAC schemes according to the design goals, focusing on some critical design issues, and tradeoffs.
