The mobile nodes in Ad hoc networks move freely, but their batteries have limited energy. Reducing energy consumption in mobile ad hoc networks and sensors is a major challenge. Several protocols called Energy-aware protocols have been proposed. Another important parameter is the latency. It is a common attribute for most MAC protocols. Its importance depends on real applications. We studied the different Energy-aware protocols, and simulated SMAC protocol as one of the main protocols that save energy. However, SMAC has one main inconvenient which is the latency. We proposed a new Latency Energy Aware Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (LATMAC) which solves the problem of energy and latency at the same time. After comparison of LATMAC with SMAC, we can observe its importance and performance.
