n Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), QoS (Quality of S\udervice) in sensor application plays a very importan\udt\udrole. QoS based routing is required to ensure the b\udest use of nodes in WSN. In this paper, a comparati\udve\udstudy of QoS based routing in Media Access Control\ud(MAC) protocols are presented based on the traits t\udo\udsolve problems like prioritization, timeliness, rel\udiability etc. The study mainly focuses on some prio\udrity\udbased QoS protocols used in WSN and a comparison am\udong them. The study reveals that among the five\udmentioned protocols; QMAC, PRIMA, DB-MAC, RAP, GTS;\udPRIMA shows the best performance in the\udcategory of Packet Prioritization, Scheduling Schem\ude, Queue Type, Energy Awareness and Qo
