Considering the new feature of wireless sensor network applying to the overhead transmission line monitoring in topology and network traffic,a hybrid MAC protocol was proposed.The protocol adopts X-MAC during idle period and pipelined transmission during busy period.It uses different X-MAC parameters according to node’s role to improve real-time performance and pipelined transmission to resolve the hidden terminal problem.Simulation results show that the protocol can meet the network’s requirement of real-time and energy efficient.
