Distributed algorithms +typically operate in rounds for a predetermined duration. At the beginning of +each round, a sensor exchanges information with its neighbors and makes a +decision to either remain turned on or to go to sleep for the round. This +decision is basically made on simple greedy criteria like the largest uncovered +area \cite{Berman05efficientenergy} or maximum uncovered targets +\cite{lu2003coverage}.
