The media access control (MAC) protocol is an important part of the wireless ad hoc network protocol stack. It defines how messages are transmitted over the medium and directly controls how messages are sent and received over the wireless channel. The MAC protocol provides unified services to the network by channel segmentation, allocation, and masking of the underlying channel control methods to achieve functions such as error, congestion, and traffic control. The ability of MAC protocols to use limited wireless resources fairly and efficiently is crucial to the performance of ad hoc networks.

The media access control (MAC) protocol is an important part of the wireless ad hoc network protocol stack. It defines how messages are transmitted over the medium and directly controls how messages are sent and received over the wireless channel. The MAC protocol provides unified services to the network by channel segmentation, allocation, and masking of the underlying channel control methods to achieve functions such as error, congestion, and traffic control. The ability of MAC protocols to use limited wireless resources fairly and efficiently is crucial to the performance of ad hoc networks.
