The wake up schedule represents a set of a wake up and sleep intervals, which are produced for one period. Those schedule replicates to each period and it can be changed by the wake up scheduling scheme during the different periods of time.

-\item \textbf{Energy efficient data acquisition schemes} are concentrated on the energy consumption reduction in the sensing unit. These schemes are divided into adaptive sampling, hierarchical sampling and model based active sampling. In adaptive sampling, the amount of data that acquired from the transducer can be reduced by spatial or temporal correlation between data. These approaches are more efficient to be used in centralized fusion but it consumes a high energy due to requiring a high processing. In hierarchical sampling, are more efficient when there are different types of sensor are installed on the nodes. These approaches are more energy efficient and application specific. The model based approaches are similar to data prediction schemes. These approaches aim to decrease the data samples by using computed models and conserve the energy by means of data acquisition.

+\subsubsection{Data Reduction Schemes} that deal with reducing the amount of data need to be transmitted to sink. They can be divided into stochastic approaches, time series forecasting and algorithmic approaches. In stochastic approaches, the physical phenomena are transformed using stochastic characterization. the aggregating by these protocols require high processing so it is feasible to work on a powerful sensor nodes with a big battery. In time series forecasting, the old values of periodic sampling can be used to forecast a future value in the same series. In algorithmic approaches, sensed phenomena are demonstrated using heuristic or state transition model.

These techniques are participating in increasing the the availability of WSNs and prolonging the network lifetime. Wireless charging in WSNs can be performed by using two manners: magnetic resonant coupling and electromagnetic radiation~\cite{ref22}.

+\subsubsection{Relay node placement} 
+In WSN, some wireless sensor nodes in a certain region may be died and this will leads to create a hole in the WSN. This problem can be solved by placing the wireless sensor nodes in sensing field using optimal distribution or by deploying a small number of relay wireless sensor nodes with a powerful capabilities whose major goal is the communication with other wireless sensor nodes or relay nodes~\cite{ref52}. This solution can enhance the power balancing and avoiding the overloaded wireless sensor nodes in a particular region in WSN.

+\subsubsection{Sink Mobility} 
+In WSNs that included a static sink, the wireless sensor nodes, which are near the sink drain their power more rapidly compared with other sensor nodes that leads to WSN disconnection and limited network lifetime~\cite{ref53}. This is happening due to sending all the data in WSN to the sink that maximizes the overload on the wireless sensor nodes close to sink. In order to overcome this problem and prolong the network lifetime; it is necessary to use a mobile sink to move within the area of WSN so as to collect the sensory data from the static sensor nodes over a single hop communication.  The mobile sink avoids the multi-hop communication and conserves the energy at the static sensor nodes close the base station, extending the lifetime of WSN~\cite{ref54,ref55}.
