+Energy efficiency is  a crucial issue in wireless sensor  networks since sensory
 consumption, in  order to  maximize the network  lifetime, represents  the major
 difficulty when designing WSNs. As a consequence, one of the scientific research
 challenges in  WSNs, which has  been addressed by  a large amount  of literature
 during the  last few  years, is  the design of  energy efficient  approaches for

 sensor  field is  monitored. On  the one  hand we  want to  monitor the  area of
