The division continues until the distance between each two sensors inside the subregion is 3 or 2 hops maximum. This division have made our protocols more scalable for the large networks, less energy consumption for communication, less processing power for decision, more reliable against network failure, and a longer lifetime. Our proposed protocols are distributed on the sensor nodes of the subregions. The protocols in each subregion work in independent and simultaneous way with the protocols in the other subregions. If the network disconnected in one subregion, it will not effect on the other subregions of the sensing field. There is no a fixed sensor node in the subregion execute the optimization algorithm. Each period of the network lifetime, the sensor nodes in the subregion cooperate in order to select a sensor node according to a predefined priority metrics to execute the optimization algorithm. The local optimal schedule resulted from the optimization algorithm is applied within the subregion. The elected sensor node sends a packet to every sensor within the subregion to inform him to stay active or sleep during this period. Each optimization algorithm in a subregion provides locally optimal solution, so the solution for all the sensing field is near-optimal. -Several algorithms to retain the coverage and maximize the network lifetime were proposed in~\cite{ref113,ref101,ref103,ref105}.

The work that presented in~\cite{ref151} solved the area coverage and connectivity problem in sensor networks in an integrated way. The network lifetime is divided into a fixed number of rounds. A coverage bitmap of sensors of the domain has been generated in each round and based on this bitmap, it has been decided which sensors stay active or turn it to sleep. They checked the connection of the graph via laplacian of the adjacency graph of active sensors in each round. The generation of coverage bitmap by using Minkowski technique, the network is able to providing the desired ratio of coverage. They defined the connected coverage problem as an optimization problem and a centralized genetic algorithm is used to find the solution. -Cheng et al.~\cite{ref119} have defined a heuristic algorithm called Cover Sets Balance (CSB), which chooses a set of active nodes using the tuple (data coverage range, residual energy). Then, they have introduced a new Correlated Node Set Computing (CNSC) algorithm to find the correlated node set for a given node. After that, they proposed a High Residual Energy First (HREF) node selection algorithm to minimize the number of active nodes so as to prolong the network lifetime. +Recent studies show an increasing interest in the use of exact schemes to solve optimization problems in WSN \cite{ref230,ref231,ref121,ref122,ref120}. Column Generation (CG) has been widely used to address different versions of MLP. CG decomposes the problem into a restricted master problem (RMP) and a pricing subproblem (PS). The former maximizes lifetime using an incomplete set of columns, and the latter is used to identify new profitable columns. A. Rossi et al.~\cite{ref121} introduced an efficient implementation of a genetic algorithm based CG to extend the lifetime and maximize target coverage in wireless sensor networks under bandwidth constraints. The authors show that the use of metaheuristic methods to solve PS in the context of CG allows to obtain optimal solutions quite fast and to produce high-quality solutions when the algorithm is stopped before returning an optimal solution. More recently, F. Castano et al. \cite{ref120} addressed the maximum network lifetime and the target coverage problem in WSNs with connectivity and coverage constraints. They considered two cases to schedule the activity of a set of sensor nodes, keeping them connected while network lifetime is maximized. First, the full coverage of the targets is required, and second only a fraction of the targets has to be monitored at any instant of time. They proposed an exact approach based on column generation and boosted by a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) and a variable neighborhood search (VNS) to address both of these problems. Finally, a multiphase framework combining these two approaches is constructed by sequentially using these two heuristics at each iteration of the column generation algorithm. The results show that combining the two heuristic methods enhances the results significantly. -In~\cite{ref141}, the problem of full grid coverage is formulated using two integer linear programming models: the first, a model that takes into account only the overall coverage constraint; the second, both the connectivity and the full grid coverage constraints have taken into consideration.

This heuristic works in rounds, requires only one-hop neighbor information, and each sensor decides its status (active or sleep) based on the perimeter coverage model from~\cite{ref133}. + +DESK is based on the result from \cite{ref133}, where two rules named k-Unit-disk Coverage (k-UC) and k-Non-unit-disk Coverage (k-NC) for +uniform and non-uniform sensing range sensor networks, respectively, are proposed. For the disk sensing range, the whole area is k-covered if and only if the perimeter of sensing regions of all sensors are k-covered. The k-NC is the generalization of k-UC. The coverage level of perimeter of a sensor $s_i$ is determined by calculating the angle corresponding to the arch that each of its neighbors covers its perimeter. Figure~\ref{figp}a illuminates such arches whilst figure~\ref{p2}b shows the angles corresponding with those arches, which were posted into the range [0,2$ \pi $]. According to figure ~\ref{figp}b, the coverage level of sensor $s_i$ can be calculated via traversing the range from 0 to 2$ \pi $. + + + +\begin{figure}[h!] + \centering + \begin{tabular}{@{}cr@{}} + \includegraphics[scale=0.475]{Figures/ch2/P2.jpg} & \raisebox{2.75cm}{(a)} \\ + \includegraphics[scale=0.475]{Figures/ch2/P1.jpg} & \raisebox{2.75cm}{(b)} + \end{tabular} + \caption{Determining the perimeter-coverage of $s_i$’s perimeter.} + \label{figp} +\end{figure} + + + + +Figure~\ref{desk} shows the DESK network time line. \begin{figure}[h!] \centering @@ -215,21 +205,21 @@ In~\cite{DESK}, the author have designed a novel distributed heuristic, called D \label{desk} \end{figure} -DESK works into rounds manner.

Each sensor node set its timer to $w_i$ and initially it is proposed that all of its neighbors need it to join the network. When the sensor node $s_j$ joins the network, it broadcasts a mACTIVATE message to inform all of its 1-hop neighbors about its status change. Its neighbors execute the perimeter coverage model to recalculate its coverage level. If it finds any neighbor u that is useless in covering its perimeter, i.e., the perimeter that u covers was covered by other active neighbors, it will send mASK2SLEEP message to that sensor. When the sensor node receives mASK2SLEEP message, it updates its counter $n_i$, contribution $c_i$ and recalculate waiting time $w_i$. It then check if its $n_i$ is decreased to 0 or not. If $n_i$ of a sensor node is 0 (i.e., it receives mASK2SLEEP message from all of its neighbors), then it will send message mGOSLEEP to all of its neighbors telling them that it is about to go to sleep, and set a timer $R_i$ for waking up in next round and at last go to sleep.
