This paper introduces SpeckMAC, a novel low-power, distributed, unsynchronised, random-access MAC protocol for a wireless mobile ad-hoc network of specks called the specknet. Two variations of the SpeckMAC protocol were compared theoretically with the well-known B-MAC protocol. All three MAC protocols were implemented on larger prototypes of the specks called the Prospeckz for a logical location maintenance algorithm for two types of batteries with differing current drain profiles. Prospeckz running SpeckMAC-B and SpeckMAC-D showed improvements in lifetimes over those utilising the B-MAC protocol by 27.4% and 38% respectively, when Polymer Li-ion batteries were used, and by 83.5% and 117.9%, respectively, when CR1220 button cells were employed.
