Because of the sensor radio's half-duplex feature and the broadcast nature of wireless media, restricted bandwidth remains a significant challenge for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Designing multi-channel MAC protocols has drawn many academics' attention as a cost-effective way to fulfil the greater bandwidth demand for WSN's restricted capacity. In this study, we introduce a planned multi-channel MAC protocol to enhance network performance. In our protocol, each receiving node picks (schedules) specific timeslots to receive data from the intended sender (s). Selection of timeslots is done in a conflict-free way, where a node avoids slots previously picked in its interference range by others. To avoid conflicts during selection of timeslots, we suggest a novel strategy by separating nearby nodes into distinct groups, where group nodes may pick only the slots allotted to that group. We illustrate the success of our strategy in performance indicators such as aggregate throughput, packet delivery ratio, end-to-end latency and energy usage.
