+\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer:} As mentioned in the paper the integer program is based on the model proposed by F. Pedraza and A. L. Medaglia and A.

But this two-steps approach is time consuming. The originality of the model is to solve both objectives in a parallel fashion. Nevertheless the weights $W_\theta$ and $W_U$ must be properly chosen so as to guarantee that the maximum number of points are covered during each round. By choosing $W_{U}$ very
+large compared to $W_{\theta}$, the coverage of a maximum of primary points is ensured. Then for a same number of covered points, solution with a minimal number of active sensors is preferred. }}\\

-\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer:} }}\\
+\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer:} As previously explained, the model with the appropriate weights ensures that a maximum number of points are covered for the set of still alive sensors. The coverage is measured through the performance metrics "coverage ratio". The coverage ratio remains around 100\% as long as possible (as long as there are enough alive sensors to cover all primary points) and then decreases. The problem introduced in "alpha-coverage to extend network lifetime
+on wireless sensor networks" by Gentilli is quite different. In this problem, the coverage ratio is fixed to a predetermined value ($\alpha$) and the amount of time during which the network can satisfy a target coverage greater than $\alpha$ is maximized. }}\\

lifetime would be better, as it is independent from the number and duration of
rounds. \\

+\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer :} Yes, you are right. It is possible to obtain the average energy consumption per unit of time by dividing the criterion defined in section .... by the round duration.}}
