Network comprises a vital importance in today`s world. Communication was earlier were static in terms of
end nodes. But with growing demand of mobility, static network in fractures are losing their importance. On the ot her
hand, Wireless Sensor Network is growing its importance. Still it has its own challenges to be tackled. Various problems
of mobility, sustainability, throughput, energy consumptions etc. are still to be overcome. In these kinds of adverse
scenarios, medium access or channel allocation is one of the major problems to be solved. Medium Access Control
protocols are working pretty well in terms of Wireless Sensor Network still can be modified to get the best results. This
paper is approach towards explaining and further proving Modified S-MAC, working as a collaborative approach with
two methods. Also comparison between three MAC protocols are made in this paper and further the best one is judge.
