Manuscript Abstract
Sensor networks facilitate many applications in different fields, either in civil applications or in military applications. The main goals of the networks are to detect events or to collect sensing data to be sent to a data processing center for different purposes. Sleeping schedules have been considered as an energy-efficient methods to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In such networks, a certain number of sensors are awake to monitor or to observe sensing data while the rest can fall into idle status to save battery energy. The sensors take turns to be awake or idle as scheduled. This benefits the networks at some points but also have some challenges that need to be improved. This article analyzes those points and also suggests a combination between the schedules and a data processing technique, called compressed sensing, that could improve the networks for more energy saving. This also provides promising research points for further explorations in the fields.
