One of the main design issue for wireless sensor network MAC protocols is to minimize the trade-off between energy efficiency and latency. To conserve the energy, wireless sensor nodes periodically go to sleep mode resulting in increased latency. This paper proposes low latency dual channel MAC protocol for wireless sensor network in which a node cancels its sleeping schedule if it is notified that it is likely due-destination in near future. To minimize the energy consumption a separate channel for communication and synchronization is used. Simulation has been done for the LDC-MAC protocol in Castalia and the results show improvement in latency and comparable energy consumption when compared to S-MAC, C-MAC and DC-MAC protocol.
