The main objective of scattering the wireless sensor nodes over the area of interest is to collect the sensed data of the physical phenomena for processing or reporting, where there are two types of reporting for sensed data in WSNs~\cite{ref138} like event-driven and on-demand. In the latter, the monitoring base station start the reporting operation by transmitting a request to the wireless sensor nodes so as to send their sensed data to the base station; for example, the inventory tracking application. In the former, the reporting operation is triggered by one or more wireless sensor nodes within the physical phenomena by transmitting their sensed data to the controlling base station; for instance, the forest fire detection application. The hybrid scheme of the two types is more flexible. -The ultimate goal of the coverage is to assure that each point in the sensing field is within the sensing range of at least one sensor node. Some applications require high reliability to perform their tasks, so they need that every point in the sensing field is covered by more than one sensor node. In order to avoid the lack in monitoring the area of interest, it is necessary that the WSN are deployed with high density so as to exploit the overlapping among the sensor nodes and to prevent malfunction of sensor nodes in severe environments. The overlap can be exploited by choosing the minimum number of sensor nodes to perform the main tasks of the WSN in the sensing field and putting the rest sensor nodes in very low power sleep mode so as to prolong the network lifetime. This exploitation manner is called sensor activity scheduling that aims to set the activity state of each sensor node in the WSN so that the sensing field can be monitored for a long time as possible. The required level of coverage should be guaranteed by the activity-based scheduling scheme~\cite{ref139}. Many scheduling algorithms have been described in~\cite{ref58,ref57}. +The ultimate goal of the coverage is to ensure that each point in the sensing field is within the sensing range of at least one sensor node.

The WSN applications require (complete or partial) area coverage and complete target coverage. Many centralized and distributed algorithms for activity scheduling have been proposed in the literature and based on different assumptions and objectives. In centralized algorithms, a central controller makes all decisions and distributes the results to sensor nodes. A distributed algorithms, on the other hand, the decision process is localized in each individual sensor node, and the only information from neighboring nodes are used for the activity decision. Compared to centralized algorithms, distributed algorithms reduce the energy consumption required for radio communication and detection accuracy whilst increase the energy consumption for computation. Overall, distributed algorithms are more suitable for large-scale networks, but it can not give optimal (or near-optimal) solution based only on local information. Several algorithms to retain the coverage and maximize the network lifetime were proposed in~\cite{ref113,ref101,ref103,ref105}.

The WSN applications require (complete or partial) area coverage and complete target coverage. This chapter concentrates only on area coverage and target coverage problems because it is possible to transform the area coverage problem to target ( or point) coverage problem and vice versa. We exclude the barrier coverage problem from this discussion about the coverage problem because it is outside the scope of this dissertation. We have focused mainly on the area coverage problem. Therefore, we represent the sensing area of each sensor node in the sensing field as a set of primary points and then achieving full area coverage by covering all the points in the sensing field. The ultimate goal of the area coverage problem is to choose the minimum number of sensor nodes to cover the whole sensing region and prolonging the lifetime of the WSN. + +Many centralized and distributed algorithms for activity scheduling have been proposed in the literature and based on different assumptions and objectives.
