Wireless sensors nodes are made up of small electronic devices which are capable of sensing, computing and transmitting data from harsh physical environments like a surveillance field. These sensor nodes majorly depend on batteries for energy, which get depleted at a faster rate because of the computation and communication operations they have to perform. However, as they are spread in zones with troublesome landscape and to accomplish full coverage of zone there are suitable number of remote sensors utilized, it is difficult to replace their batteries once exhausted. Medium Access Control (MAC) plays an important role in wireless sensor network as MAC controls the radio signal in channel of communication between two or more sensor nodes. S-MAC is one of the base protocol of MAC layer protocols which with slight modifications result in various protocols. In this paper we discuss the survey on S-MAC protocol which is popular MAC layer protocols. It also provides a brief analysis of these protocols which could be helpful in future work in this direction. This paper also provides a reference for further research in this area giving an insight on energy conservation at MAC layer.
