"DiLCO outperforms PeCO when the coverage ratio is required to be $>90\%$, but PeCo extends the network lifetime significantly when coverage ratio can be relaxed." Also, can you add applications where
 you would want to have a coverage ratio of $50\%$? This seems like a very small ratio and as you
 increase it, DiLCO becomes the methodology that has the maximum network lifetime. If you don't
 include application examples, your statement "Indeed there are applications that do not require a
