 Nodes are deployed over caves, mines, or underground and communicate through soil~\cite{ref9,ref10}. The most important applications in underground WSNs are structural monitoring, agriculture monitoring, landscape management, underground environment monitoring of soil, water or mineral and military border monitoring. The essential challenges of underground WSNs are the high levels of attenuation and signal loss in communication. Therefore, it needs a certain type of devices able to provide a robust wireless underground communication. The risk on these devices comes from unsuitable underground conditions, replacing or recharging the battery seems to be impossible, and the WSN deployment is expensive.

-This type of WSNs is composed of wireless sensor nodes deployed in the water such as the ocean~\cite{ref11,ref12}. Many challenges must be faced in this type of WSN such as the high cost of the underwater sensor devices; underwater wireless communication with limited bandwidth, high latency, signal fading, and long propagation delay problems; sparse deployment in which the wireless sensors should be able to self-organized to adapt to various condition of the ocean environment; the limited power of the node battery, and the difficulty to replace or recharge it. These challenges led to look for energy efficient underwater wireless communication mechanisms. The main underwater WSNs applications are seismic monitoring, disaster prevention monitoring, underwater robotics, pollution monitoring, equipment monitoring, and undersea surveillance and exploration. \\

 They consist of inexpensive wireless sensor nodes supplied with CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Silicon) cameras or  microphones devices. The nodes are deployed in a pre-guided way to ensure the coverage. Multimedia WSN is capable of retrieving and storing audio, video, and image contents from the physical environment~\cite{ref13,ref14,ref15}.  Multimedia WSN contributed in improving some existing WSN applications such as tracking and monitoring.  The main challenges in multimedia WSN include:  the processing, filtering, and compressing of multimedia data; the requested bandwidth and high energy consumption; Quality-of-Service provisioning is very difficult because of the link capacity and delays; it should combine different wireless techniques; energy-efficient cross-layer design; it needs flexible architecture to support various applications; and the deployment is based on the multimedia devices coverage.

A WSN can use various types of sensors such as \cite{ref17,ref19}: thermal, seismic, magnetic, visual, infrared, acoustic, and radar. These sensors are capable of observing a different physical conditions such as: temperature, humidity, pressure, speed, direction, movement, light, soil makeup, noise levels, presence or absence of certain kinds of objects, and mechanical stress levels on attached objects. Consequently, a wide range of WSN applications can be classified into five classes~\cite{ref22}, as shown in Figure~\ref{WSNAP}.

During the work of the team, the leader will observe the agent's situation and the environmental factors. The main applications include emergency rescue teams, miners, and soldiers. In passive supervision systems, wireless static sensors are scattered over a large field in order to monitor a civil area or nuclear site for a longer time. These applications include surveillance and target tracking; emergency navigation; fire detection in a building; structural health monitoring; and natural disaster prevention such as in the case of tsunamis, eruptions or flooding.

 \item $\textbf{Deployment Method}$ refers to the way by which the wireless sensor nodes are deployed over the target sensing field in order to build the wireless sensor network. Generally, the sensor nodes can be placed either deterministically or randomly in the target sensing field~\cite{ref107}. The method of placement can be selected based on the type of sensors, application, and the environment. In the deterministic placement, the deployment can be achieved in a friendly environment with a small number of sensor nodes. The random placement is preferred for a large number of sensor nodes or when the area of interest is inaccessible or hostile. The sensor network can be either dense or sparse. On the one hand, the dense deployment is preferable when it is necessary to provide a security robustness in WSNs. On the other hand, the sparse deployment is used when the dense deployment is expensive or when the maximum coverage is performed by a low number of sensor nodes.

-\item $\textbf{Coverage Degree}$ refers to how many sensor nodes are required to cover a target or an area. A point in the sensing field is said to be K-coverage if it is covered by at least K sensor nodes. Some applications need a high reliability to achieve their tasks. Therefore, the sensing field is deployed densely so as to perform a K-coverage for this field. The simple coverage problem consists of a coverage degree equal to one (i.e., K=1), where every point in the sensing field is covered by at least one sensor.

-\item $\textbf{Activity based Scheduling}$ schedules the activation and deactivation of sensor nodes during the network lifetime. The basic objective is to decide which sensors are in what states (active or sleeping mode) and for how long, so that the application coverage requirement can be guaranteed and the network lifetime can be prolonged. Various  centralized, distributed, and localized approaches have been proposed for activity scheduling. In distributed algorithms, each node in the network autonomously makes decisions on whether to turn on or turn off itself, using only local neighbor information. In centralized algorithms, a central controller (a node or base station) informs every sensor of the time intervals to be activated.
