Sensors are used in many fields to collect the information and send it to the central location;the role of energy conservation is more important in Media Access Protocol. This paper presents the limitation and description of MAC protocols with different techniques used in BMAC, LMAC, XMAC protocols and we implement BMAC, LMAC, XMAC protocol in Omnetpp5.5.1 simulator as per default configuration and values to run the protocols in omnetpp5.5.1 simulator and compare these three protocols as per energy parameters and find out the energy efficientMAC protocol. Our simulation result shows that the XMAC protocol is a more energy efficient, collision free protocol, the no of packets loss is also reduced in the XMAC protocol.
