The subgraph consists of sensor nodes which are previously deployed over the sensing field uniformly with high density to ensure that any primary point on the sensing field is covered by at least one sensor node. The graph partition problem has gained importance due to its application for clustering. The topology of the graph has important impact on the protocol performance. Random graph has negative effect on our DiLCO protocol because we suppose that the sensing field is subdivided uniformly. }} \noindent {\bf 3.

Up to now, we make the assumption that the communication range $R_c$ satisfies the condition $Rc \geq 2R_s$. In fact, Zhang and Hou ("Maintaining Sensing Coverage and. Connectivity in Large Sensor Networks",2005) proved that if the transmission range fulfills the previous hypothesis, the complete coverage of a convex area implies connectivity among active nodes. Therefore, as long as the coverage ratio is greater than $95\%$, we can assume that the connectivity is maintained. And we check it this hypothesis by simulation with OMNET++.}}\\\\
