rounds in one sensing period). The second protocol based GA is declined into four versions: GA-MuDiLCO-1, GA-MuDiLCO-3, GA-MuDiLCO-5,

two other methods. The first method, called DESK and proposed by \cite{ChinhVu},
is a full distributed coverage algorithm. The second method, called
GAF~\cite{xu2001geography}, consists in dividing the region into fixed squares.

GA-MuDiLCO gives approximate solution with activation a larger number of nodes than MuDiLCO during sensing phase while it activates a less number of nodes in comparison with both DESK and GAF. The results of GA-MuDiLCO seems to be comparable and can maintain the lifetime coverage as long as possible.}

\subsubsection{Active sensors ratio}
It is crucial to have as few active nodes as possible in each round, in order to

\subsubsection{Stopped simulation runs}
%The results presented in this experiment, is to show the comparison of our MuDiLCO protocol with other two approaches from the point of view the stopped simulation runs per round. Figure~\ref{fig6} illustrates the percentage of stopped simulation
%runs per round for 150 deployed nodes.
Figure~\ref{fig6} reports the cumulative percentage of stopped simulations runs
per round for 150 deployed nodes. This figure gives the breakpoint for each method. DESK stops first, after approximately 45~rounds, because it consumes the
more energy by turning on a large number of redundant nodes during the sensing
-phase. GAF stops secondly for the same reason than DESK. MuDiLCO overcomes
-DESK and GAF because the optimization process distributed on several subregions
-leads to coverage preservation and so extends the network lifetime. Let us
-emphasize that the simulation continues as long as a network in a subregion is
