The　wireless　sensor　network　is　expected　to　provide　various　data　sensing　services　by　employing　the　advantage　of　dense　deployment.　Energy　efficiency　is　an　important　criterion　for　many　applications　since　the　sensor　nodes　are　generally　budgeted　by　limited　battery.　In　this　paper,　we　are　concerned　with　the　node　scheduling　problem　to　provide　the　required　services　for　the　service-oriented　wireless　sensor　network.　We　firstly　propose　an　Energy-aware　Centralized　Heuristic　Scheme　(ECHS)　for　the　problem　in　which　an　energy-aware　benefit　function　is　used　to　determine　active　sensor　nodes　and　rotate　sensor　nodes　by　periodically　reconstructing　the　scheduling　scheme.　We　also　present　an　Energy-aware　Distributed　Heuristic　Scheme　(EDHS)　as　the　distributed　version.　Extensive　simulation　is　performed　to　evaluate　the　proposed　schemes,　and　the　results　show　that　the　two　schemes　have　better　performance　compared　with　related　works.　©　2014　Hongju　Cheng　et　al.
