On the one hand, if a node failure is detected before making the decision, the node will not participate during this phase, and, on the other hand, if the node failure occurs after the decision, the sensing  task of the network will be temporarily affected:  only during  the period of sensing until a new period starts.

-We have addressed the problem of the coverage and of the lifetime optimization in wireless  sensor networks.  This is a key  issue as  sensor nodes  have limited resources in terms of memory, energy, and computational power. To cope with this problem,  the field  of sensing  is divided  into smaller subregions  using the concept of divide-and-conquer method, and  then  we propose  a protocol  which optimizes coverage  and lifetime performances in each  subregion.  Our protocol,
-called MuDiLCO (Multiround  Distributed Lifetime Coverage Optimization) combines two  efficient techniques:  network leader election  and   sensor  activity scheduling. The activity  scheduling in each subregion  works in periods,  where each period consists of four  phases: (i) Information exchange, (ii)  Leader election, (iii) Decision phase to plan the activity  of the sensors over $T$ rounds, (iv) Sensing phase itself divided into T rounds.

+In this chapter, we have presented a protocol, called MuDiLCO (Multiround  Distributed Lifetime Coverage Optimization) that combines two  efficient techniques:  network leader election  and sensor activity scheduling. The activity scheduling in each subregion  works in periods, where each period consists of four  phases: (i) Information exchange, (ii)  Leader election, (iii) Decision phase to plan the activity  of the sensors over $T$ rounds, (iv) Sensing phase itself divided into T rounds.

 
 Simulations results show the  relevance of the proposed  protocol in  terms of lifetime, coverage  ratio, active  sensors ratio, energy  consumption, execution time. Indeed,  when dealing with  large wireless sensor networks,  a distributed approach, like  the one we  propose, allows to reduce the difficulty of  a single global optimization problem by partitioning it into many smaller problems, one per subregion, that can be solved  more easily. Nevertheless, results also show that it is not possible to plan the activity of sensors over too many rounds because the resulting optimization problem leads to too high-resolution times and thus to an excessive energy consumption. Compared with DiLCO, it is clear that MuDiLCO improves the network lifetime especially for the dense network, but it is  less robust than DiLCO under sensor nodes failures. Therefore, choosing the number of rounds $T$ depends on the type of application the WSN is deployed for.
